I just put on new drop zone springs. and they're rubbing in the rear.
is there a chance i mixed up the struts and they are one side only?
the struts look to be angled hard to the left...

You may have it sitting on the spring seats funky, what size wheels are you using? 7inch wide 17's rubbed for me, as in no back seat passengers. Using stock wheels I have no problems however.

You have to be sure the spring is seated on the strut support and top hat correctly. There also may be a correct way the spring should go, like one end up.

Neither did my eibachs. I never had to put them on the machine at all.

I've noticed the rears are really easy, but the front springs have to be compressed like crazy.
