HELP! COIL OVER KIT?

[1986GT]

Got everything put together like the picture shows on the strut. Jacked it back up in place and went to put the rubber with sleeve inside back on and top with the plate and nut but the steel sleeve seems too long now. I looked and looked but I did everything right I beleive. Am I supposed to cut the sleeve down or did I miss something? Need help asap. Also am I supposed to put the bump stop back in? The pic doesn't show it.

Sorry this is on my 86'.

The only thing I can think of is that I may need caster camber plates to run coil overs. I have never heard anyone say that though.

Confirmed by UPR's hotline. I have to have caster camber plates. I can't believe I never heard that before. Anyone have anything to add to this info?

Is this the UPR kit?

With most coilover kits that I have seen you are better using the C/C plates. I think you can use the stock hardware but you may have to use the spacer tubes/bushings. Check the website of the kit you are using, I'm sure there is info there.

Yes it is the UPR kit. I checked their site and it wasn't any better than the peice of paper they sent me. I am ordering C/C plates tomorrow.

I bought a set of coilovers for my coupe,not once did anyone tell me I needed a caster camber plate kit.
I ended up buyone since I was going to be in there and You do need it to get the coilover's to work.

I got the Steeda c/c plates for mine when i done them. I'm pretty pleased with them.

Got the c/c's today. They are the UPR aluminum ones. Look good. I hope I get it done this weekend.

I used the stock plates and cut down the spacer, it worked fine.
