A lot of times people try to push the helper spring down while securing the front and they dont get the washer over the shock shoulder stem area and then it clunks.

I put the washer between the top perch and the top hat. About the bolded part, I dont know which is the shock stern area.
I did lower the perches all the way down. I still believe my problem is I need to tighten the top nut more, but still curious about the washer and bolded quoted part. Thanks for the help!
Two more questions:
Is there any way to know how far down/up you are getting the car?
Does the helping spring compression dictates how far up/down the car is lowered?
Maybe these questions seem obvious to other people, but I had never installed adjustable coilovers.
