Anyway are these 10 mm higher than the OEM specs or did the old ones drop 10 mm lower as they aged?
I guess camber is out now?
I understand that ice crystals will form, over the years, in the cranial cavity of those constantly exposed to sub-freezing temps, making them irascible and unruly.
Prompting them to fits of nastiness and ridicule.
I figured I'd show that even in the dark recesses of Alabama, we know all 'bout them meaters and stuff!
The Eibachs dropped the stance ~ 1 3/4" / 45 mm on install a couple of years ago.
Eibach replaced them when I complained. The new ones were the same.
The KYB's, when we installed them, had a MUCH stronger compression spec-I compared them when we had to compress and tether them to get them in the rears.
That seems to have raised the stance about 10 mm.
Whether the OEM shocks were just worn out or they came that way, I have no idea.
