Has anyone used them? They are clearly nothing like the originals. Don't come with any instructions on how these fit compared to orginals.....

Obviously the bump stop has to go up the top. Then the boot zip ties to the bump stop? But then the boot hits the strut spring top plate under full compression. Which allows the boot to rub and WILL wear through quickly. Other issue is there is no way you can get the nut to hold the strut top bearing etc on and to compress the spring. Even tried it without the spring or the strut boot. Only the bump stop. And still doesn't fit.

I have tried to ring the seller and there is no answer. But crap considering I need the car going Monday morning!
