      I ran into similar problems the other day when doing my struts, I ended up chopping the endlinks in half and removing them from the sway bar side of the thing.

      Spring diameter is 3 1/4 inches in the front, I can only assume it's the same on the rear.. What is that of the raceland or equivalent? I'm running a 37 offset on a 7.5 inch rim. Well, I was until I...

      Did anyone else have problems with tire/rims rubbing the springs or perches? I think I'm going to have to use at least a 5mm spacer to accommodate 7.5's.

      I'm glad I wasn't the only person having bouncing problems, I knew with b&g's I'd be (hopefully) avoiding most if not all of that. xD But I'm not quite sure what you mean, are you saying that the car...

      So it seems like I found the problem. When I tried installing them, I had them both as high as they could go. OOPS. So, the way to go is to lower the perches all the way, push the coilover so the...

      Did you have to crank the coilovers down pretty low? I would be able to get the damn things to fit if the whole strut body was shorter. When I have my height set, the uncompressed strut is just a...
