          The spacers go on TOP of the strut inserts. If you put the spacer at the bottom you will lose a lot of shock travel and the car will very likely bottom out in the front.

          Instructions with regards to perch placement and swaylink tab placement will be included with the kits.

          Re: Vorshlag camber plates
          They are shipping out today so I should see them most likely by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. So you guessed it, the kits will probably be shipping out on Friday. ;)

                One other thing I forgot to mention, I am considering turning this into a revolving GB. If everyone is happy with their set-ups and there are others that would like to get their hands on this kit, I'm willing to re-open the GB for another 10 folks.

                I know race season is coming up and I have some other products on the ledge for racers coming up shortly (i.e. Rota wheels). Are either of these possibilities something that there is interest for?

                  If you decide to run your springs at a higher level you can probably get away from this. From my experience, this GC method was the first thing I tried (I originally had their kit on my car) and when I had the spacer underneath the shock body I lost ~3" of shock travel once the car was lowered into position. In addition, the shocks lasted me about 6 months.

                  With my kit, I relocated the spacer to sit ABOVE the shock and the front strut inserts (same exact part mind you), I have been on them for about a year now with no issues whatsoever. Also, my struts on my street car are still factory length and have not been shortened.

                    got it. thank you jason.

                    edit: yeah, i read a bunch of posts on bfc track. i guess if you run the car high, put the spacers under the insert. if you run the car low, put them above the insert.

                      also as a side note, dont let a muffler shop cut and weld yer strut housings, as they will ruin them completely.

                          What's the new and improved ETA on these? Is there any way I will have it by early next week? Looking forward to installing and next week is all I've got time-wise until mid May. Just wondering!

                          Thanks,

                            what if ur friends own that said muffler shop and are good welders (at least in their eyes)?
