Default Coilover Install

Hi All:
I have just removed the Struts from my 2.7T and I am ready to install H&R Coilovers. However the Bentley CD says the an axis through the upper spring mount mounting bolts should be about 11 degrees from an axis through the fork mounting holes at the bottom of the strut. Since I have no means of measuring this, I was wondering if any one has a method of setting this up. Otherwise I guess I will have to resort to a Trial and Error method untill it fits in correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Well I had to dismantle the stock Struts in order in order to get components from them. So I really did not have anything the match up.

Default Can you rotate the shock after you put it all together?

I am sure you can get it close by eye and then adjust it as you put it in.
