OK, Imagine if this whole time we've all be talking that I did not know the physical MAKE-UP (structure) of the lower black locking ring and thought it was just as slim in top to bottom width as the other rings on the shaft? LOL - Look at Jerrgy and I's conversation in AIM just a moment ago. (I will post pics later)
ThinkAbtIt: ok
ThinkAbtIt: here's the lesson for the day
ThinkAbtIt: just got off the phone with them
jerggy13: dont dumb a grand on coilovers if you dont want your car slamed
jerggy13:
ThinkAbtIt: I had not ever clockwised the lower mount up and down the threading
jerggy13: haha
ThinkAbtIt: so
ThinkAbtIt: I never saw that the black locking ring
ThinkAbtIt: is NOT like the other rings on the shaft of the strut
ThinkAbtIt: I was thinking this whole time
ThinkAbtIt: that its fucking like
ThinkAbtIt: 1/4" wide
ThinkAbtIt: just like those other rings
ThinkAbtIt: but the dude (from Ksport) just told me its like a sleeve
ThinkAbtIt: that goes up inside and under the lower mount
jerggy13: yah
ThinkAbtIt: so THAT my friend
ThinkAbtIt: is what I was missing
ThinkAbtIt: big miss too
jerggy13: yah pretty much
jerggy13: i was wondering why you could not raise it
ThinkAbtIt: I was just eager to get them on
ThinkAbtIt: not to experiment with them
jerggy13: its hard to help without being there
ThinkAbtIt: right
ThinkAbtIt: fuck man
ThinkAbtIt: I feel like such a goofball
ThinkAbtIt: lol
Anyway, now I know how to resolve the issue, but may not have time because I'll be out of town till the 26th on vacation.
I may not get to ride in my car after all this time until a week from now.
