Got some intrax waiting to go on
I understand the best way of mounting the rear coilovers upside down
So I removed the top mount bracket to bolt on the other side and the gap is not wide enough to fit, do I need to bend the bracket to make for or is there another way

You should have a u shape bracket with a stud on it that you bolt into the top mount then the bolt goes through the u shape holding the shock in the middle
Yes mounting the shock upside down
Post a pic of the shock and bracket

Think I might do that,
adjusting the stiffness is it clock wise to stiffen
