cant get coilovers on right?!?!

[jdmjimmy22]

I just got these Megan Racing coilovers, and somthing isnt right! In the rear the spring perch on the shock is so low that on the highest setting of the coilover sleeve the shock only has like 2 inches of travel!!!! Ive installed coilovers before and I know that the sleeve is supposed to rest all the way down on the perch but its REALLY LOW!! BTW the shocks are Tokico blues i picked up for free from my homie so i realy wanna get this setup to work cuzz it cost me close to nothing haha. Is there anybody else on here thats running this setup?? Please help

urn them upside down so the coil itself sits on the perch.mine are that way and they have been fine for 2 years.

In the pic you can see at the highest setting it leaves only like 2 inches of travel for the shock.

Sorry for crap pics. I dont know how to post pics

the problem is that the spring is too short, the way i solved the problem safely was to place a 2 inch lifter kit (spacer) on top of the spring between the spring and the top mount, that means i can run the adjuster like the front i have 1 finger gap at the rear and around the middle of the adjuster
