i have recieved coilover springs and my buddy of mine and i tried to install it all night/day...but found out that i need to saw something off from the strut...if i saw the part off and the coilover springs does not fit...then i am screwed...can't drive...is there a way to install it w/out sawing off anything?
we took out allen nut and tried to put it in the strut but wouldn't go all through...

does anyone what's wrong?

WTF!!!! what are you doing that is the mount for the spring. Exactly what did you buy. There is no part that should ever make you need to modify that

dude, either you're doing something wrong or you got the wrong parts. because it should just be r&r, nothin' complicated like u're doing. y exactly u tryin' to grind that thing down? is it because once you put the coil and mount on, that you can't put the nut on? cuz that's how it's suppose to be and you have to get spring compressors. what you're doing doesn't make sense
