    Exclamation More suspension install problems...NEED HELP

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I go to do the rears today after I redid the front and it is surprisingly very easy. I should have known it would get bad in a hurry. I drop the subframe and get the spring out and I see this:



    This is my perch:



    This is what I think is the underside:



    How in the world am I supposed to get the perch in there? I have Koni coilovers I bought from the classifieds. Is this the wrong perch or something???

    That should be the upper perch. Post pics of the whole rear setup.

    Koni makes rear setups with an upper perch????? I thought only Vogtland did that , anyway here are more pics.

    From left to right, Koni perch (upper or lower, totally confused at this point), Koni spring, sport suspension spring, oem upper bushing, oem lower bushing



    Spring side:



    Side that touches car:

    Use the OEM lower perch and the provided one is the new upper perch.

    Thanks guys, figured it out. Just got confused because every right up and picture I ever saw about Koni or Stasis had lower perch adjusters.
