[OuroborosXIV]

I see the indentation is on the wrong side. Flip that to match the end of spring.

flip the rubber? or just rotate it?

Flip the rubber over so the notch aligns with the end of the spring

Flip the rubber, the groove of the spring end needs to sit in the gap the arrow is point at in the picture above.

the rubber has indentations where the bolts go so theres 3 of them

The rubber wont let the top hat sit flush it’s too thick to fit inside. If it is even meant to fit in there

Though i may retract what i said previously.

If i remember right i read some where years ago when doing my lift that the coil seat isolator that rubber thing " correct me if im wrong" there are different sizes.

If you are using the original toyota rubber isolator it is to wide for the toytec coils, because they are a smaller diameter than the original toyota coils you are replacing. So you need the correct diameter rubber isolator. If you contact toytec they should be able to help you out with that problem.

Do not install or drive the vehicle till thats resolved.

There is a thread with the answer here on the site but i like beer so browse away and you shall find.

Cheers
