Default DSE Coil Over Kit

Can anyone post up some pictures of there DSE coil over kit install. Im having a little issue of the shock hitting the shock tower, It's barely touching, but I dont want to grind on anything.

Thanks Kirk

You have the new style coil overs right? THe afco/DSE ones?

If so you have to trim the mounts. I had too.

Kyle and i talked about that when i did mine, i was one of the 1st to have the new coil over for the stock sub frame.

I know I have the original style, but may I ask what is different about the new ones?

I trimmed mine a bit too. Ultimately didn't have to since I needed to turn the collars down a bit since it was setting too low. Don't be afraid
