I knew it either had to be

a) me, or

b) because I cobbled together two different Fieros worth of parts, that I may have grabbed two lefts, or two rights, but they are identical left and right, correct?

please say yes

Heh heh, you can still see the impression in the rust of your original top hat where the rubber spring pad had sat for decades.




Just so you know, it isn't uncommon for the top hats to be flipped over when lowering springs have been installed... and yes, there are some minor clearance issues to then be dealt with.

Another issue? The darn things are called "top hats" and so I oriented them like a gd blessed top hat.
