    then you're doing something wrong. that should be plenty of spring to go lower.

    what are you rubbing on? because you're not bottoming out the struts and running on the bump stops with a 1 finger gap.

    I would rather lose by a mile because I built my own car, than lose by an inch, because someone else built it for me. Your car is your story, so don't let someone else write the book.

    How do different struts change the height? I thought that's what springs are for...

    They have less travel, collapsed height isn't as small as stock.

    So you end up a little higher.

    i would call and ask on that one. seems like more of a universal kit. i've seen that one before and i'm not sure.

    i would assume the UAS kit would be better assembled.

    What kind of wheels are you running? How saggy is the rear end? Or do you have 5 people in your car at all times?
