he didn't have his struts cuts, because that would actually take machining. if he was too cheap to buy a proper suspension in the first place, he's not going to pay a couple hundred $ for a machine shop to do the work on his struts, and his shocks in the back would be so compacted that the car would probably ride better on wooden blocks than the shocks.

hahahaha. HATE HATE HATE HATE. actually I machined the struts myself I own a big lathe. the rear rides way better than the front. megan racing offers different length springs that can drop me up to 5 inches with their coilovers, which of course is impossible, but 3.75-4 inches sounds wonderful. my wheel wells are all set to go I removed my fender linings because they rubbed and fab'd up my own splash guards for the intake and meth tank (wiper fluid) and rolled the fenders all the way around. aligned my bumper while I was at it and re-did the zip tie stitches with black. looks pretty mean. so this baby's all set to go now I just gotta wait til tuesday and she'll be back on the road. we'll see what happens ladies.

haha funny. my head were torqued to 75 ft lbs. arp specs
I split a sleeve, which has become pretty common.
This moron cut his springs and machined his struts. Don't even try to put me in the same boat as this fool.

You call that the truth?? There is a lot more to that story than your little spout and had you been following the project you would know so.
I have read posts about guys not liking you, today I don't care for you much either.

almost finished
so you used a lathe, which means you broke your struts down to their internals to mount it on the lathe, and reassembled it and pressurized it ? wow a suspension company should hire you as a lead tech if you can do that in your garage. you understand that shortening strut rods 99.999999% of the time consist of cutting the rod and rewelding it, right?
