The gap is full cover.. You cant see the coilover or struts under the gap.. But one problem, I already order 6" springs because it lower more in the front.. Right now I have 7" springs.. Oh well!!!

If you have the blues why don't you just put them on. If you ever want to sell your car and need it to look factory you'll have to buy more struts. Just common sense....right?

coilovers give a very harsh ride and they make a "clanking noise" everytime u hit a bump (goldenglory)

if he wants to look stock...just put the stock spring back in. I doubt people can tell the change in ride quality.


ground control will eventually wear out the Tokico and stock struts.

It was me. I think it was a problem with the install job. They seemed to be okay with stock struts, although they do clank.

The drop is insane, especially on the rears. All in all, I'm glad I switched back to conventional springs.
