How low are you?
I just measured from the ground to the fender edge. Drivers' side front 26 3/8", drivers' side rear 25 7/8". Not too bad for stock suspension.
But I did do a bad thing to slightly lower the car, (according to PureDrifter). I used spring clamps. It brought the whole car body down about 1 1/4". Pure said its alright for short drives, but dont travel long distances. If one of those babies let loose it could cut brakes lines or cause other damage. Oh well, Ill take my chances. I couldnt stand the look of the "truckin" suspension.

Are you seriously using those spring compressor-like things that they sell at some auto parts stores to lower the car more???
Get those unless you want one of them flying off while driving one day.

Hey Brandicus what did JIC tell you and what part of the suspension died on yours.
The guy i sold mine to now has a blown shock and they have nothing to fix it with and will only sell him a new set for $1800 which is 30% off retail.?!?!?!

Hey with the 2 of us we might be able to peice to gether one half decent set.
How long ago did you contact them?
I am thinking we need to put a little pressure on them with the masses being unhappy with them no longer supporting their own product and not stepping up to replace them if they will not fix them as that was part of the original product that they did in house rebuilding.
Otherwise a multiple forum wide disgruntled owner bashing would ensue for shafting the customers with crap products that cannot be fixed.
Shyte breaks and i expect to pay for it i don't accept paying anywhere close to full price to replace an entire kit when i only need 1 shock.
Hell they could atleast sell 1 new shock and use the adapters mounts and whatever else crosses over if possible .
