$60 even off of ebay for the springs since they were used and I picked them up. They're grey though which meens they can't be too old since progress just changed the color of their springs from blue to grey about 2.5 years ago. I found a shop here in garden grove that sells the shox cheap, I ended up getting them for $161.99 brand new. I contacted the shop through ebay also.
Grand total:
$222

Default Half way!

If anyone wants to check the weather in riverside ca the remp is currently a chilly 103F. Good thing I got a 12er of beer to keep me cool. :drunk:
Any ways, here's the rear. As I'm sure you can see I took the liberty of adjusting my camber using the washer trick I picked up here on HAN.IMG_1750.JPG

OK, so my rear end is just fine, but my front end is un-even. My driver's side is more than half an inch lower than the passangers. Also, the bushings in the strut mounts look different on both sides, on one side they don't even look compressed and the thread from the shock protrudes more than the other side. I don't think either of these have anything to do with the ride height cause its the spring that controls than but I still can't figure it out.

Are the perches removable? On my Konis they are, and you can install them upside down, which affects ride height.

N/M from the pic, it looks like the perches are fixed.

Bumpstops? Did the springs seat all the way?

I should really have asked you to take before and after pics so we can see the difference in ride height when done.

Make sure the bottom of the strut is seated all of the way into the fork. Check the notch around the back. Also, it is possible that one of your strut mount bushings is blown hese sagging a bit on one side.
