I'm gonna go to a shop tomorrow morning for them to swap out the rear springs and maybe shave off the bolt area a little to have another small flat surface..

any other ideas?

beside that.. the Tein springs are lovely.. in the front Feels like a Nascar with only the front lowered.. lol

Top bolt is used to ajdust the camber. You can see that the top bolt sits on a groove so the bolt doesn't move when installed. Rotating it adjusts the camber.
