as you can see the bushings are too big but without them the rear strut bolt does not fit tightly

Now I see the picture but is there a bigger size of it. I barely can see it. Sorry about that, just want to have a clear look so we can help out.

If im correct, this is from bottom looking up right? and this is rear. If so, you should loose up the top 2 bolts on top and make sure the bottom screw go through before you tight the top 2 bolts. If it another problem, just post it here and hope we can help you

yeah its going upward, but we took off the bolts and tried from many angles but it couldn't fit, the front coils fit fine.

have you try to turn it 180 degree? I believe is only 1 direction so try to turn it 180 degree to see if it work? Cuz the rear is not go straight down but in an angle. Try that and see will that work or not.

The front fit? If they were dc5 spec the ep3 tie rods would be too small...

Maybe its mismatched? Is there a part number on the rears that you can look up to make sure that they aren't dc5 coilovers? Because that's definitely how the dc5 ones would look if you tried to install them into ep3 trailing arms.
