tap hat installation
Im installing my F&F coilovers as we speak and I am stuck installing the top hat because I do not have air tools. The usual way I keep the strut piston from spinning is with an allen in the top of it, but that is where the adjuster is on this new F&F one. The adjuster does unscrew but you are left with a very tiny allen hole that does not look like something that would be good to leverage against while tightening down the top hat nut.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated as I am staying late at my work doing this job and would like to not spend the night here.
Thanks in advance!

Yeah I tried that and ended up giving up. I got everything done except for tightening the top hats. I just left my car at the shop and I'm about to head back up there to use a co-workers air tools while he is there today.

Yours looked sick. I never liked the Mugen window visors until I saw yours and it almost made me wish I had spent the extra cash on those rather than the OEM Honda visors. Unfortunately my fit didn't get any exposure because I was parked waaaay out in the grass. (Sucked because I dragged ass the whole way through the gravel and grass lol)... mine is a CBP 2013 Sport lowered on stockies. If you remember seeing one with a pink Victorias Secret bra on the rear view it was mine because the girl I was with threw that on there when we left our hotel :P.. I'll try to post a couple of pics in this thread in just a sec.

hey i know I'm kinda late on this thread but I'm having the same problem right now with the same coilovers. how did you manage to fit an air tool to the strut towers? cause its pretty far back and an impact gun wasn't able to fit

On my megans the thread was long so i finger tightened the nut then used 2 nuts tightened together to hold with 1 wrench and tightened the actual nut with another. Then removed the 2 nuts. Requires 2 extra nuts with correct thread though.
