Nope, I'm gonna wait for Powertrix to open up on the west coast to call about the top bracket replaced since the bolts don't tighten down like they should. Also need to fix the front I have some squeaks coming from there. I read that I may need to tighten them up a bit more.

No problem man, let me know when you hear from Powertrix. When you get that bracket in we'll get the car lowered down and setup the way you want.

The squeaks could be coming from the Drivers Side, you were missing that thin plastic gasket there.

Been in contact with Charlies from Powertrix all week. The mounting brackets ARE side specific since the top collar is beviled. I took a look at the passanger side and saw what the issue is (cant beleive i missed. that before mounting) hopefully the mounding nuts on the strut arent fucked up when we get everything corrected.
