New bags seem big

[Bubby]

I recently purchased new rear bags and they seem to be about 4 inches taller then the ones i removed. Does anyone know if thats normal? Will the new bag "fold" over itself like the old one? Do i need to do something to it first to get it to fit? Did i possibly get shipped the wrong size? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

The bag should "fold" (Or roll might be more accurate) to a lower height. That's how it adjusts the height when it is installed in the car.

Got them in and they look fine! Thank you for the reassurance! Now, on to the front. I'm replacing the upper control arms as well. Having a time getting to the nut under the master cylinder. Any secrets for that?

If you remove the wheel and plastic fender liner, there is an access hole that you can put a 3/8" extension, U joint, and socket through to get to the nut.

A short, deep socket works fine. A regular deep socket (like my craftsman sockets) won't work.

Oh yeah, you already have the wheel off..

a boxed end 18 mm wrench works easier than anything for that nut under the master, then pry the flag off of the head of the bolt inside the wheel well and use a 15 mm socket to remove the bolt while holding the nut with the 18 mm wrench.
