KYB's missing notch at top of strut
Why do kyb's have the threads all the way around the post? I've only ever seen struts with a D shaped post. Reason I ask is my tein camber plates won't work with these struts.
What struts are setup with a D notched post at the end? (maybe this is a series difference s4/s5 or difference in ABS/Non-ABS?)

Actually after looking at it a little more, it appears that the turbo2 I have came stock with the KYB/MacPherson strut upgrade, which were cut out and koni cartridges were inserted. So this problem is with the KONI piston rod that mounts at the strut top/pillowball.

The part that is a D is a removable part. You should be able to fetch some of those circle things when you ditch the konis

The nut right between the spring perch and camber plate (labeled #2) has a notch in it for the strut piston rod. Koni's won't fit in there. I read in a search that someone was using kyb's with the plates so I just picked up a set of those from tire rack.
