Line up the spline on the axle and shove it back it until you hear it click. A mallet can help too.

To get the 36mm axle nut off, you'd need a long breaker bar or jump on the wrench like I do.

if it's brand new, let it settle. meaning, just wait about 2-weeks and it'll slowly become lower which the springs will be softer.

YES CUT THE BUMP STOPS IN HALF.

this is the case with pretty much all the aftermarket setups I've seen.

you cut them before you assemble the struts and springs....


you don't need the full length bumpstop with the lowering springs, and it may just cause the shock to "bottom out" prematurely.

but no, it has nothing to do with the stance of the car.
