Default Coilover Installation Help please

So I recently ordered some Megan Racing EZ Street coilovers for my 2001 Tiburon. I'velooked up the part number to make sure they weren't miss-shipped, the part number matches.



The problem is that the stud pattern is much, much smaller than my factory struts. I have compressed and disassembled my factory strut, incase I needed to move a mount over or something, but nothing looks like it fits.



Am I missing a step, or am I just crazy?

Do you have the fronts in the front and rears in the rear?



My ksports went right in, no problem.

That is the same set I bought and went in with no modification at all.

Can you get an image of the exact issue?



The rears a slightly longer and thinner than the front, so make sure you are trying to put the right ones where they belong.

Haha, yeah, so I had goofed. They went in much smoother when I tried putting the front in the front. Hur dur dur



Now that they're in, fixed my camber issue and the ride is much smoother.

It's an easy mistake to make, and we've ALL been there.

Glad to hear it's together. You'll enjoy the crap out of that setup, it definitely brings the car to life.
