Okay i finally got it . U were right i did have it upside down, and i had to basically gut it all out all over again, it took me about an hour and a half to gut out the suspension, take out the springs, reposition the cap, secure it and mount it all up again. those same things took me over 8 hours to do yesterday.. didn't have a power tool till about the last hour or so lol. But yea i can feel the ride being alot stiffer which i like better than the bouncy stock one. I know i need to wait for about a week or so to get an alignment, but how much more will the car drop before it's fully settled.

Thanks for the help tho,
-Rogue

Exactly---There was NO reason to unbolt the A-Arm---Start over.
