Callaway/Eibach coilover canister clocked wrong - pics
I can't believe my horrible luck with C6 suspension parts. First the right rear Callaway/Eibach shock broke, then one of my Pfadt front antiroll bar arms walked off the end of the bar (clamp bolt still tight!), now the rear replacement coilovers have their canisters clocked wrong.
Here is a pic of the left rear showing the canister mounted upside down, which is the only way it will fit in the bracket. You can see the red adjuster **** peaking out above the rotor.
Here's another pic of a proper installation (AFAIK):
Here is one of the replacement coilovers showing that the red adjustment **** has to be pointing up to avoid kinking the hose. The bracket to hold the canister is circled.
So, can I adjust the fitting in order to rotate the canister 180 degrees?

The pics on Callaway's website (under support) don't show the adjuster **** pointing up.
