Spax rsx fitting issue

[.Joe]

Hi there, I'm currently in the process of fitting some spax coilovers and the rears seem to go straight through

I fitted my spax rear coilovers recently had no problems if the threads are going through that much they must be assembled incorrectly or missing the rubber bushes or something have you got the fitting instructions? If not then email spax they should be able to email you a copy but bear in mind that the newer rear coilovers are different (no helper spring) so make sure u have the correct fitting instructions.

Wheres the rubber bushes gone that normally sit above / below that point where it enters the car?

They're on there now, I had to bore them out to fit, I'm currently stumped on what thread pattern it is, as it definitely isn't metric

Hi Dan, i just check now, i'm purely now just trying to find a correctly threaded nut, i have a feeling its unf just not too sure on size.

Why did you have to bore them out? They should be along the length of the thread.

The metal plate bit of the rubbers was to narrow to fit over the rear shockers.

 

[loggyboy]

Over any part of it? Ie the threaded part of the piston? Or the main part of the piston/shaft?

Something doesn't seem right, picture of the whole unit?
