I know my spring compressor messed the paint on the springs, but I was just wondering if I mounted them right.

Strano Springs btw

Looks good to me. Plus you can always twist the bottom end so the bolt holes line up if it is a little off. Also be sire to pack the strut bolt and cup on top with grease or it WILL rust like hell!

Looks good to me man. The only things that I'll say is make sure that you coat the shock stud that is located coming through the center of the shock mount with antisieze to prevent rust and make sure that the adjustment slot is facing outward over where the rotor will be located, otherwise it'll be a PITA or impossible to adjust them on the car.

Oh, and a side note, not trying to be overly critical but it's a "shock" not a "strut". There are differences.
