Whats your rear spring perch like?
Mine came with a bolt to bolt it to the torsion bar, which was solid, but I wanted the white line rear sway bar.
So like everyone else I have mounted it up the top. It looks dodgie as up there.
It sits on the raised portion of the chassis / spring mount, I threw the springs in and wound some pre load up so the spring cant fall out on full suspension drop (set it up at full drop on the jacks)
As you can see the base doesnt really sit on the chassis.
I have BC coilovers from the NZ (gold ones) Mine did not come with camber tops.
I see others did not come with the bolt to bolt this mount into the torsion bar.
So does every ones sit proud and on top of that hump on the spring mount?
Personally I have the rear spring set up like this, it means a heap of pre load is placed on the springs to get them safe so they dont fall out on full drop of the rear torsion bar.
I was thinking of getting a ring made up to hold the spring perch better
