CS Gold What have I done wrong?

Just changed my rear shocks and springs and my car looks like a tractor. What have I done wrong?
I lined the springs up with the grooves in the spring mounts from the old springs, I checked the spring mounts were seated properly, but this doesn't look right šŸ¤”

Question about the front shocks now...

I don't have a 21mm offset spanner, can I just blast the top mount off with an impact wrench? Or do I need to go back to Halfords for the 3rd time today?

Never struggled with both sides up tbh, clios are so lovely to work on compared to Meganes

f**king despise working on my meg šŸ˜‚

They've never just seemed to drop in for me. Always have to put a fair bit of pressure on the wishbone for the bolt holes to line up.

Aye f**k Meganes šŸ˜‚

I get that the shock is compressed at the moment, but do I really have to reuse that grotty dust cover?! I kind of assumed that they'd be included šŸ˜

Yep you need the dustcover as its got the bumpstop in it, which is secondary damping on stock shocks/lowered springs, its not included with the shock. Febi do aftermarket replacements which are ok and cheap, i wouldnt refit that one its knackered.

Right, in which case I'll get some ordered. May as well go genuine though as everything else has been so far.
