I must have been doing something wrong. I couldn't figure out how to adjust rear ride height without having to unbolt the lower mount from the spindle and prying it away then turning the base up by hand. It was a pain and I mangle up the treads a but at the bottom with the pry bar.

He did email me. He asked me what size I need but I told him it was for the rear on the Rx8. Does he want me me take a measuring tape to the ****? lol If so I have the old broken one on my bench I can measure. Guess I just assumed he would know what size they were since he is the one that produces them and everything.

99.99% sure its your springs/adjustment collar do-hickys.

Make sure they are preloaded and the collars are on tight.

Extra provided spacers added to front shock mounts, 25 turns from bottom in the front. 35 turns from bottom in the rear.

If your talking about mine its not even a competition. Tiltmode's stance and my stance are completely different goals.

I added this to the GB thread but should be posted here as well:
