    New here and installing megan racing coilocers on today when I got to rear and cannot figure out how to get to the top of where the rear strut goes through the body of the car. If there is a DIY for these please let me know.

    You are thinking wrong-you must remove the entire assembly with the two 13 mm head bolts facing downwards (towards the ground) then assemble the top "hat" or mounting parts to your coilovers. assembly is the reverse of disassembly-you cannot access the top nut while assembly is on car

    Do this ^^^^ you cannot access the top of the rear shock from inside or outside the car until you remove them by taking out the two 13 mm mentioned above. :Thumbsup:
