How do you get them to stay seated on the upper spring perch whenever you jack up your car?
I'm installing a set all around, and can tell that they will fix my binding issue, however unless I hold them in place with my hand while lowering the car (not possible) I don't see how I can get them to properly seat into the upper perches.
A couple pics might paint a clearer picture.

I think they are intended to be used with 'helper' springs.

You aren't preloaded properly, the front completely unbound but installed should not allow room like that. You have a height adjuster and a preload adjuster. Adjust preload first then height.

Don't you only need 1 thrust bearing per spring?
I thought about installing these with my H&R coil-overs, since they have progressive spring, and they bind.
Looking for an E39 belly pan , passenger front inner fender liner …
Just wondering - what does spring bind feel like?
