    If its the nut below the bottom spring seat and its all the way down the bottom of the thread that is the lowest you can run them, should be scraping its ass on the ground at that level I imagine?

    ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeeaaaahhhhhhh f**k yeah thats right soooooooooo much better, excitement is overwhelming if anyone is thinkin bout gettin these it is well worth the money, they all seemed to bolt on allright except the front ones have an allen key insert on the top to hold the strut so you can tighten them up 7mm and the kit didnt include a 7mm allen key, 7mm is an odd size so i had to grind down an 8mm allen key to get it in, extremely annoying

    anyways that was the only down side to this kit ride quality has improved ten fold
    no more body roll
    also traction has improved i assume that because of the stiffer suspension there is less weight transfer hence more weight on the front wheels

    and i cant put my 16x8s on yet cause i have to get my guards rolled and some thinner tyres so runnin the stocks for now

    il post some pics wen i get my 16s on theres not much to look at yet not very exciting but yeah very happy

    for those who want to get these on the fronts i measured 45 mm from the bottom of the lock nut to the bottom of the thread
    the rears are about 65mm

    PICS petey PICS!

    Glad to hear they all worked out though. It would be interesting to compare these to another brand of coil overs. see if there is any real noticeable difference?
