Tried installing my springs today on my 12' nismo. After taking the stock springs off and installing the swifts, I noticed the notch that's slanted for the end of the coil to sit against when on the swift makes the top hat not line up with the 3 tower holes. I couldn't figure out if maybe leaving the end of the swift spring not on that notch and rotating it about an inch to make the holes line up would matter? Either way it whooped my *** and I'm not sure why I couldn't get the spring to sit aligned with that angled cut in the rubber. Sound familiar to anyone else? I wish I took photos but I think anyone who knows the rubber part of the strut tower knows what I mean. It fits snug on the stock spring and not so well on the swift.
