OFFICIAL: Powertrix Coilover Group Buy is OPEN!
Oh, looks very close. With regards to a fix, from the looks of things, one can lightly trim the factory strut bar, use some spacers/washers to help push it up enough for clearance (possibly), or run without the strut bar for the time being. This may not be ideal, but I really need to see this in person before any final word is made. Powertrix isn't going anywhere, so we'll be sure to figure this one out! Hopefully this doesn't create too large an inconvenience for anyone. When new products enter the market testing is done, but there is always slight chance of a hiccup here or there.
Stay tuned!
BTW, still working on my inbox situation for you guys. Will be sorted soon, promise!

Finally done with install.
I took the height adjustment and threaded them all the way off, then did 20 turns on the front and 22.5 turns on the back. Also I only preloaded the springs as much as I could turn the perch with my hand. Wheel gaps are at like 3" and 4" right now. I'm guessing they'll settle about an inch and a half so in a week I'll slam it. Going for a gap of about 1 finger width.
I'm tired as hell so I'll have pics/comments up tomorrow or something.

Update - I'll have my vendor status back up tonight so will be able to receive PM's again.
I'll see if I can post an update with regard to the extenders & front strut as well

Wait that 2mm of steel covering the front strut is what everyone is worried about?
Seriously?
A 30 second date with my grinder will solve that issue...
I mean if you were really strapped for cash you could pick up a steel file for $5 and go to work.

For my personal car, I wouldn't think twice about giving a light shave to the bottom of my OEM strut bar. At the same time, however, it is not something that is really necessary/required.
In either case, I'll keep you all posted!

it's a count of the threads showing above/below the adjustment collar. It will give Shady a reference for how low the car will be. If he sets his the same on initial setup, he'll be close to same ride hight as the others. Without a baseline, it's all guess work.
I don't have pics, but out of the 185 posts in this thread, here is the breakdown.

Waiting for an update on the extenders... It's a one shot deal for me... I don't have the time to install/uninstall/reinstall... need to get this done in one fail swoop.
Any update for us, tilt?

Working on a date for the extenders for everyone. As mentioned, they are being air freighted over so there will not be a big delay. At the moment, I just need to get those tracking codes!
We'll get everything settled as soon as possible, I can promise that! My PM box should be open any minute now, so if any of you have any questions, feel free to PM me as well.
edit: PM box now has space
