Default Need quick T2 help!

I'm having a hell of a time tightening down the top strut bolt. My strap wrench fits in there but it just can't get enough grip on the shaft to keep it from spinning. I tried zapping it with the impact wrench at a low setting but it didn't really even seem to budge. Anyone have any idea on how many threads I should have sticking out? Cause on the front I don't have any! Should I crank up the impact gun some more and zap again? I don't really like the idea of that...... Pics:

Rear:



Thanks!

I ran out and looked at my car since I'm running the lowering RCE camber plates as well. You look fine to me man.

Ok thanks guys. I'm starting to think this is how they're supposed to look so I'm going to go ahead and install them. We'll see how it goes...
