x3 on shaving the bump stops a bit. I had to shave mine slightly to make them pop in and fit in place.

Just came on to find this thread. Those rear bump stops were a pain in the ass, I just finished them now Im doing the front, but anyways, I thought the weight of the car would press the rubber bump stop in, no way! ended up taking them apart again, put a little wd40 and tapped the edges with a ball pin hammer, and it slide right in....alright back outside now to do the fronts man I hate doing the fronts, I have done springs on this car too many times, base to sportlines then back to base, then to fe5s and then the fe5 struts/shocks with fe5 springs and now to pedders, hopefully this is the last time!!!

Did you insert the end caps and bump stops on the springs BEFORE inserting them?

Left spring YES....Right spring NO.

are you guys using a spring compressor at all? sounds like you're trying to just set the springs in... only car i know of you can do that on is a mustang and thats because the lowering springs will literally fall out if you pull down on the axle lol

Blazin07SS in Miami suggested a heat gun for the rear lower isolators, thats what I do now, and it works like a charm. Before that I used WD 40 lol
The latest Pedders CED are selling appear to be a little larger on the pigtail end compared to before. I get our Pedders from CED great prices and they have inventory.
