Koni yellows gave me an XI wheel gap... - Page 2

... Wait a second

wow I put the brake assembly on too low.... Ok this should fix things... I thought where it got bigger on the strut is where the TOP of the clamp should be

Your gap is bigger than mine also... I have no idea

Doesn't make much sense?? The coils of the spring touching each other is normal they are designed to do that

use a jack under that spindle to push that sucker in there!

I had to use a jack under the control arm and use the wedge side of a hammer to pry the clamp open

. Now to reassemble!! I'll post new pics later today!

Also put in my shock/strut reinforcements

New pics! IDK why my camera likes to suck at taking pictures sometimes but... Its MUCH better now

Also apparently I have the H&R Race springs... YAY!

car looks great bro!

Looks good. I put my Konis on before I bought my springs. With the additional height, I went with the Race over Sport. We're running the same setup, now. How do you like it?

I love the setup! However If I had the money I would of gone with some coilovers... I would like to go just a tad lower in the front and rear.

Car handles AMAZING, Just put in some Rogue Engineering FCABs and RTABs!
