Default BIG problem

alright i may be fixing to ask a completely stupid but im having a problem that i can't figure out....

i just lowered my car with the complete skunk2 lowering spring and sport strut kit, in the front they gave me two polyurethane bushings to use so i did but now im having a major problem with the mount on top, yes the spring is seated correctly i know that for sure, and yes there is a bump stop in there but i can't figure out whats going on! look at the pictures and tell me what i need to do!





it is like that on both sides....

any thoughts?

you have the assembly together wrong , i would suggest a hayes service manual or have it towed to a shop . red part in the wrong place , goes below the upper mount . i assume this is your first spring job . expect to be flammed alot for this

Did you install the lower "washer" piece that holds the bushings?

Did you buy them from skunk2. If so they should have com e with instructions. If not go here...skunk2.com, they have online instructions for most of there parts that you can download. If I new exactly what you bought I could have given you a direct link, but you should be able to find them. I think that the bushing should go inside the plate that sits against the suspension tower, you have yours on the outside.
