fuck. whenever i do the simplest things on my car, i seem to run into trouble. Then i take my coilovers to a local speed shop, and those morons know even less than i do about this. F'ing morons!!! CRAP.
please help guys!!!
I have apexi ws coilovers and a set of used cusco camber plates. HOW do these go together? the camberplates came with a cylindrical washer that is about 1 inch long. I have NO CLUE where it goes, as it doesn't fit snugly anywhere.:loco:
Also, i took TONS of pics of everything, but i'm to damn computer illiterate to post them...can anyone please tell me how to post the pics, or just do i for me? thanks a ton guys....i'm kinda frustrated right now!!

Here is a pic of the rear pillowmounts the way they came off the car. Is this right? It didn't look like it to me, but what do i know? I cant see how it would even benefit to have pillowmounts when installed like that?

Well, with the front you don't the stock rubber hat and rubber. You install the spacer then then thread on the nut at the top of the plate. The rears seem a little strange. I'm not sure why the rubber is in there.

so for the front....
I get rid of the large black/rubber piece obviously. So does the black spacer go BEFORE the camber plate goes on? And then i put the camber plate, and screw the threaded bolt on last? right?
The only thing that seems wierd is that the black spacer has a larger inner diameter than the stock one, and has play....is that ok?

You cannot use camber plates with WS coilovers. Call Apex'i, they'll tell you the same thing. This was tried over four years ago with a friend's car, exact same parts, exact same results you're having.
