That's why i wanted a pic of the full strut, i had a feeling they didn't hammer out the old OEM spring hat from the bottom of the strut. It looked like it was floating on something, especially it being "maxed out" lowered...Fuckers left the spring seat on the front lol. Can’t trust anyone these days
Yeah I’m sure it was an honest mistake but frustrating still. The paper instructions that come with the springs does say to remove it and doesn’t ever say to reinstall. But it also doesn’t say that it won’t be reused like it does for some other parts, kinda weird. But in some videos it’s pretty clear to remove and not reuse. I was hesitant to do it myself and figured a shop should be able to do it easier than me and the install price seemed reasonable. Is what it is, now they just need to fix it as I’m sure they will.
I can understand them from a "non enthusiast" aspect... it would look like it still needed the bottom strut mount because if you took that off, it looks like that "lock perch system" HKS provides wouldn't have anything to hold it in place alone... some of these people don't know that because they just know how to work with a stock car or put a car back to "stock" essentially, not modify it or anything of that sort... just start looking for a new shop that actually ARE enthusiasts because the passionate drive is different that someone just collecting a check.
