The shop I went to was unable to get the rear strut assemblies out to put in the Tokicos and eibachs. So now Im driving around with the front lowered and the back still up in the air untill I can get the rears installed on monday.

Is this unsafe or will it damage anything? I am taking it real easy driving like a granny and all, but it still worries me some.

 

I drove around like that for about 2 weeks. I'm not sure about safety, but it felt uncomfortable driving like that.

 

Is getting the rear strut assemblies out a common problem?

 

Yeah It doesnt feel quite right... I am glad I only have to wait over the weekend!

 

i did the same for a week

 

On the Independent rear of the 3rd gen it seems that is harder than most. Part of the brake/strut assembly is just pressed together at the bottom, so its a ***** to get disconnected, and thats why they couldnt do it. not sure about the 4th gen though...

 

real easy on the 4th gens. right now, i have my front lower (not by too much) and the rears stock. the driving feels fine to me and improved over stock. i might keep thi setup till i get new struts.
