I thought it would be totally plug and play too. I was not expecting a shortage of threads. The way it was, the nylon in the top nut wasn't really engaging threads and I knew I couldn't leav it that way - definitely unsafe.

Don't know what to say could have been removed - I took everything off the stock strut and moved it to the GC strut. I didn't think there was anything that could be left out. It I had left out one of the large "washers", I probably would have had enough thread with the stock length of the steel sleeve in the bushing. But..I'm pretty sure you have to have both of them in there.

If this is stable and works, it's $300+ cheaper than just getting Vorshlags or something else - that is why I figured I'd try it. My unanswered question now is if I go to a camber plate, will I encounter the same issue with a bushing that is too tall?
