OK, listen I know there is a lot of talk, but I'm stating it again. There is no threading left at the bottom of the strut. The locking ring below the lower strut mount is hanging on to about 2 - 3 threads and any further it would come OFF.

If there is almost no gap between the shock body inside the orange lower mount and the black locking ring at the bottom, you can raise the suspension more.

This is what is having me think I was sent the wrong product for my application even though the box confirms its right because according to what I've got the lower mount as far as it will go counterclockwise without pushing the lower black locking ring off. When I opened the box it looked like it had been messed with already (at least one of the struts) as there were scratches on the camber plate and screws were just sitting open in the box.

Did you try adjusting the suspension lower mount to the point where the black locking ring only engages three full threads? Meaning if you turned the black locking ring 3 full rotations counterclockwise (looking from the bottom up), the black ring will fall off.

See above.

At that height, I found that the car was still about 1.5" lower than stock which works out pretty good for street driving. Your fronts on the other hand are really low. It''ll not only scrape the ground, your tires don't have much clearance to the fender if you corner hard (and/or hit a bump while turning).

Yes, and I don't want it that way. FYI - My Rears appear to be higher than the front, yet still I cannot get a jack back there. Its rediculous. Would higher rears mean a lower front too btw? or just that the front would be at an angle pointing more downward?
