I've got just a few questions on how to install these things. first off i am sorry it is so long but hopefully you will readthis all. everything is one right but i am working on putting my new struts on. i have 4 cyl. fox springs in so i have the kyb struts for a fox as well. so far i have the original dust boot on with the MM urathane bumpstop sliped on. since i am lowered now it says to put on small spacer under the cc plate bearing and then one small and two large spacers above the cc plate bearing. there should be 4 spacers on each side of the car. the problem i have is i will not have near enough strut shaft to put the strut nut on. the bumpstop gets in the way of allowing for more strut shaft which i guess is its job but it won't allow for more strut.

i also have a question about the spacers below the cc plate bearing... does it go on before you slip the dust boot back over or after you have slipped it over? it won't be doing anything as far as i can tell if it goes on after i have put the boot back on because it will just slide into the bumpstops opening.

so right now i have one small spacer under the bumpstop and i can have one small spacer on top of the bearing and that is it. do i have to use the big spacers? hopefully someone has experience with this cause i know it is hard to understand.
