Default Coilover Problems

I bought a second 98 neon r/t for my 17yr old got a steal on it runs good but him and his buddies decided to chop the springs and screwed them all up. So he ordered a cheap set of coilovers off e-bat for like 60 bucks and we cant get them on. The bottom perch doesnt seem to fit over the strut. ive never fooled with these things when i did mine i bought the real things and they are nothing like these anybody ever fool with these thing and have any tricks for the install!

first off, isnt not a good idea to get the ones form ebay. Bad quality and youll most likely remove them if you ever get them on.

my advice would be to get you $ back on the ebays and buy some skunk 2s or ground control coils

the ebay coil overs are an utter waste of time to even try and figure out. they will give you more problems then the cut springs will
