What coilovers are you fitting? Someone else on here probably has the same ones and knows exactly how they fit.

This is from the manual that came with mine. I would imagine most should be similar if not the same.

This is the full page from the spax guide.

Mine didn't come with any top mounts, I got cheap ones at the time and am just needing to replace them now after 3 years, quite a lot of miles and a few track days.
Have got decent ones this time, hopefully they will last a bit longer.
