oh ok got ya. well the spacer solved my springy squeak problem. Now i just need to rebuild my struts, new springs but no rush on that. btw rabbit which type of springrate should i go with linear or progressive? im thinking linear spring would be a better setup but like i said i only have limited kno...

i understand. So basically the top mount acts as a somewhat seesaw effect?

Could you explain more about the 1in for deflection?

Not bigger, you need to drill a hole in the upper metal of the box channel (which would allow you to turn the adjuster in the trunk while installed) Make sense?

Where do i go to get my struts revalved to match bette...

if you keep them checked and watch your pad life you should do fine from what ive heard about rotors but the previous owner sold my car with bad pads so the rotors were warped when i got it. new ones are bein put in soon tho.

i am the rear disc brakes will work out, with some design.. the fronts i did a preliminary test fit and need to "rework" the calipers.. or find a different offset hat rotor to use. But thats part of the process... the coil overs are a lot closer than i originally thought when i came up wi...
