Strano spring shorter?
#3
I still compressed mine. I doubt you can get the fronts back to the level of the compressed stockers without compression of the strano springs. I would highly recomend compressing them on the install.

ya man i thought that at first too, but on my car i STILL had to compress the springs to get the mount to sit as far down as possible. we both have the same shocks (though it might not matter), so you might not have got that mount as far down as possible. Just my personal experience.
