    Maybe you need to smooth the weld at the bottom of the shock to allow it to drop fully in, as was talked about previously in this thread?

    I haven't gotten home to install mine yet, but I can't wait!

      Mine don't move around either. Neither have any of the last 3 installs I've done.

          Here is a small teaser fellas. I should have the car on the ground by tomorrow night. I do have a quick question though. Judging by the picture how much (if any) should I take off of the bump stops ? Thanks guys.

                  So just out of curiosity, how many of you guys are shortening your strut tube assembleys? I want to run my car really low, and was wondering if shortening it would be necessary. I know it was mentioned earlier in the thread that this kit is designed so that shortening won't be necessary. But is anyone still doing it?

                    I didnt and i can slam mine to the ground, literally. i am half way down in the front and here is my oil pan.
                    3 1/4 in... Me: 666fab, can i order a skidplate? (in a week or so)
                    Its kinda scary and gives me the chills sometmes it being so low.
                    I cant go over speed bumps...

                    Front Tuck: ~1.5in
                    It doesnt really look that low from the angle I took the picture, but i took it to warn u guys that run low w/o rolled feders on stok baskets!
