Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

so you are worried about air getting under the car and flipping it while travelling at 150mph.

Can anybody say how long SVT struts will last (mileage wise). I too am on a budget and like cheap, but if it is really that bad, I'll bite the bullet and buy different struts
BTW, good to hear you got everything together ok

Stazi never had the pleasure of drinking an 80 proof rum have you. Well neither have I. An Austrian spiced rum Stroh Original Rum 80. Well when I saw the number 151 I thought of a 160 proof rum.

I had a terrible time with the front struts. the rear was easy. The SVT springs have so many coils I was never able to compress them enough to take the cup off. You were lucky. I had midas or maybe it was meineke do that for me. But I replaced the ball joints while I was at it so that might help in the future when I replace the struts. And since you have eibach pro-kit springs dont listen to anybody about your struts wearing out faster. They are made to work within the parameters of your stock struts(SVT or SE) as you probably read on the eibach website. Of course the higher mileage u have the better the chance for worn struts.
