Due to my father passing away on 10/30/2023 I will be inheriting 3 more vehicles (1994 Ford Bronco 5.8L, 1970 Dodge Challenger, and a 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8) and since I already have 6 I have to let 2-3 go and unfortunately I think the 91 Capri is going to be one of them.  I will also be letting my 2002 Ford Mustang GT Convertible Roush Stage 2 go, and most likely my 1999 Dodge Dakota RT.  I still intend on Swapping out all four struts with the H&R lowering springs, replacing all brakes, pads, rotors, bearings, calipers, etc and completing the interior color change to black.  I will also be replacing the oxygen sensor for the Check engine light.  Has blackout taillight covers and Ive practically rebuilt the entire car.

All replaced within the last year:
aluminum racing radiator
water pump
timing belt
tensioners
belts
alternator
Fuel filter
CV axles (both)
plugs, wires, cap, rotor
battery
air filter
Tires
Speakers
radio
tinted windows
Passenger window lift motor
valve cover and timing cover gaskets
cooling fan switch
thermostat

Im sure other stuff that Im forgetting.  Car will come with both soft top and hardtop.  Hardtop needs a new headliner installed (I have black headliner material that goes with car)

If anyone has either (or both) the sensor for the boost gauge or the solenoid that'll make the car start with a hot engine, I'll take em. It's the first and second sensors from the left in this ebay listing.

I'll just buy these ebay ones if not, but figured I'd ask here first.

I feel like I'm missing something.  Isn't there some sort of top plate or something between top of spring and mount?

He raises a good point. Short term memory issues, but i KNOW something must be wrong there lol. I believe you forgot to swap a piece from the old strut assembly to the new one here. Once the crusty old one is on there, you'll know if the top of that spring is correct or not.

I also couldn't find replacements for my spring seats. They don't make noise so add it to the "some day" list

i havent pulled the old ones yet.  I was trying to get these assembled so I could do a much easier R&R replacement and not have to dissassemble the old struts

It's not a difficult job, as long as you have a half-way decent spring compressor. Honestly, the crappy clamp style ones are probably enough - the factory springs aren't under very much tension. The trickiest part is removing the trailing arms from the rear struts; just be extremely careful with the forward bolt on the trailing arm. They like to break, and they are in a bear of a spot.

Hah, I'm getting old. Yes I think there's supposed to be an upper spring seat there. I will have to check my capri later and see the set up
