ran into a problem...i align the spring and then it shifts back as so....

after i saw this i took off the whole strut assembly and then compressed the spring and alinged it to the stop on the strut...but it keeps shifting...should i be worried or am i fine. i do hear it clunk once in a while

im pretty sure you just have to drive it and wait for the suspension to settle.

Try jacking each side of the car up and then lowering it very slowly. Believe it or not, that fixed a pronblem we had we when swapped a Baja suspension off of a WRX wagon.

It will take about a week for the suspension to settle. The one thing you'll want to do is upgrade the stock struts too. Lowering springs tend to shift when the vehicle is jacked up.
