MBA-Supra11 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Hello, So my front strut was leaking so decided to change it. I bought two b6 Bilstein (part number 24-017923), one for each side, I thought its best to change both sides. I got Eibach lowering springs so I was fitting them onto the new strut but they seem to be too short for the strut. When I place the spring on the lower perch it does not reach the top mount. Is there any spacer I could use to fill the gap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishieftrottle Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Hello, When I was changing all four struts and springs on my Mitsubishi Eclipse, I had the same "problem". It is because you used stock height struts and lowering springs. Anyway, I installed it 2 years ago and drive it without any problem. Just pay attention to springs position towards top mount during installation to the car ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
