intalling koni struts and springs!! HELP!

[xaaronx]

okay so i'm installing my rear struts and everything is going great. i tighten the very top nut on the rod as far as i can go and figure it should be fine. why wouldn't it? well i get them on and i press on my trunk to test them out a bit and i hear a clunking coming from where the top mounting part is. am i missing something here? did i do something wrong?

i've got Koni STR.T struts with RS*R 94/97 springs. it almost seems like i need to add a washer because i ran out of threads to tighten anymore..

one more thing, i also noticed the stock struts have like a built in washer on the struts where as my konis don't. could that have something to do with it?


edit: just read a koni install thread on h-t and it showed the guys koni yellows with a washer on the rod. my don't have this. wtf? is this probably why it's doing that?

void thread. i read a little more about the struts on h-t and i guess other people did this too lol missed the bottom washer and it wouldn't tighten as much as it should. fml

you can delete it yourself by editing out your first post and hit delete

i thought about that, but then i thought what if someone else runs into this problem and searches it? i mean, unless deev wants it gone, i think it should stay for future reference if anyone else gets confused

I need to see pics to understand what you're saying.

I am thinking about picking these up myself. How do they ride? I will have 300/175# springs front and back (H&R sports in rear, sleeves in front).
