Koni Struts problem. URGENT HELP NEEDED.

So I bought these: https://www.rx8club.com/forum/showth...highlight=koni


Seller said that they'd be good for either series of RX8, but I'm having some issues.

I have one of the shocks out, with the spring off. They didn't come with the top piece, so I used that from the old shock (I assume this is regular), however, the threading for the new struts doesn't allow for the washer for the yellow bump stop to clear them. So I can't get the bump stop on. I absolutely dont want to install the shocks without that bumpstop. What do I do? Just drill the hole bigger? : c


I just want something to work without breaking or being wrong : c

ill take a picture in a second.

Turns out all I had to do was drill the hole bigger.


And like an adult, I did. Everything went okay. Not to do the back ones tomorrow.

So much work : c
