IIRC what happened with mine was the lower perch is not welded, it has a slot that slips onto a bulge on the shock body. On the new struts the base perch was not seated all the way for some reason. It was 2 years ago, so a bit foggy memory.

I mowed around my Stealth. :p
I was going to talk to the landlord today when I saw him out mowing his neighboring properties about adding more gravel to make the driveway wider and longer so I could get the Stealth out of the grass but he took off before I could get to him.
That is my next goal with the car though, to get it out of the grass and onto more solid ground then maybe I can start doing other stuff to it once stress levels start to cease since the new job starts Monday.
In the first picture showing how the spring is seated you can see the weld for the perch to the strut.Quote:

Are the rear springs green as well? I have a 3 finger gap all the way around on mine with the rear being maybe a little tighter, but minimal.
yup, green springs all the way around. I have double checked everything so I think thats just the way mine is going to sit. I actually took a tape measure to them earlier and the fronts were just a hair over 2" gap and the backs just a hair under 2" gap. Im happy with the way it sits and its definitely a nice drop from the stock 4x4 height.
If you're happy that's all that matters. My gaps are smaller because Spyder weight and also because taller 255/40/18 tires.
I know I don't post on here often, but finally got some heads in so I can rebuild my vr4 but then the day got worse. Got a lovely text saying that while putting down the top on the spyder the rear window shattered. :grumpy::mad-new: Anyone know where I can get the glass? I know they're not easy to find.
Not sure, call a glass service and/or your body shop guy
Gave the Stealth engine bay just a little post winter loving....
Then washed it....
Wife put the insurance back on the Spyder, so I can yank it out of its hibernation....
That's all.....
Bob. :)
