Thanks guys. I ordered the rack spacers and camber bolts from ottperformance. (Had cheapest shipping quote)

Got the middle spacer.. 1- 1.3 " drop.

Just nervous how to install.. not sure how they install and difficulty level. Just want the car to steer and handle as well as possible. And be safe and correct.

Thanks guys for any additional help you provide.

The spacers are cake to install, little hard to get tools in there but not impossible.

I just got notified they arrived. Everything check out OK? No damaged stuff?

I did receive them.. didn't take them all out but box looked good . I was nervous you didn't send 2 of the struts.. but i saw them separate of the springs in the bottom of the box. I guess those didn't need spring compressors.

Thank you again.. my rack spacers and camber bolts are scheduled for friday. So if those come.. i hope to install this weekend. I wish one of you all lived in NC to come help me swap them... I'll just try to look at the online how to on here.

I do need to cut the bump stops. Right? Anyone have a pic of what that should look like?

Thanks again.

Since you're swapping the whole strut assembly in the front it's cake. No spring compressor needed that way either.

Do you recommend cutting the bump stops? Just don't want to have to do it later if it should be.. but if they are fine to leave.. I'll just not cut them.

Thanks again guys

well everything came in today.. so I did the install.. had a heck of a time with those tie-rod bolts.. but I got everything installed.. the rack spacers were tough.. but I was able to get those in. I went for a drive tonight.. am a little worried. it has a pull to the right and I assumed I needed to get an alignment.. but my bigger concern is that during sharper turns and accelerating... I feel a clunky / grinding... I'm not sure if I used the wrong size spacers.. or maybe I didn't need too.. idk... I figured there would be some settling... but I'm just not sure what should be normal or what do I need to do to get things feeling normal.

any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again.
