I would have obviously made some mistakes there myself.
Do you mind editing your post to show the correct part labels?

If that is your car above, it looks like the bump stop is correct on that strut (have to see the rear to know if those are correct). But that dust boot should be on the rear strut and the front struts should keep the OEM boots.

Just had my springs installed at @Evasive Motorsports I only have the springs and oem camber bolts installed and there's noticeable clunking noises when driving through surface streets on my way home. Perhaps the noise will lessen when settled?

I took shots of the front and comparing the previously posted photos, makes me wonder too if the bumpstops were not installed correctly.

Wow.

RCE, you guys might want to start including some basic documentation for the installers because there is clearly some confusion about a few of the finer points of the install. It would go a long way to save you guys some headaches in the long run.

We are doing a local install FRIDAY and taking step by step pictures. we will post these pictures on this forum, on our website AND include them in the box with the springs.

This will act as a basic guideline for the installation so there is no confusion as to what goes where.

No problem Raymond. We are more then willing to help you out. Seems like the Race comp gave the bumpstops in the box that we used.

I think this is where the suspension will stay.
