Those pics make are a little difficult to judge becuase you can't really see the wheel gap since the tires blend in with the black space. As it is, those pics look fine....but if it did settle another half inch...i could see how you think that its too low. At the same time...I don't know why that would hurt the koni's, they are designed for lowering springs, and i would think they could handle at least a 2" drop without a problem...but then again, everything I know is just from talking to other people....better yet people who sell them

That rear gap looks bad!!  Worse than the saggin rear suspension of the stock CSVT struts. I'd consider trying to get them replaced under KONI's warranty. have the Bat Springs/Bilstein euro handling package and the drop was very subtle, maybe 1". Car isn't slammed, but you get the best nadling and ride out of the. I recimmend anyone looking for new struts/spinrgs to get this kit.  Oh yeaa, welcome!

Ya the rear is low. I mean the car still looks somewhat level if you look at the side profile but ya in the back I cant even put a finger in. Its gotta go up on an angle. The front is like 1 finger (barely).
Once the struts are out, I will send them to be redone and keep them for my next round of changes. Down the road I may use the rebuilt Konis and the BAT springs.

The car has had them on for about 8 months so it's pretty well settled all that it will. I don'thave any side shots openly availble, I'll take some when I get home. Here's what I have.

Thanks a lot! That really doesn't look significantly lower than mine is now, which is good for my purposes

Well I just ordered my BAT kit (with the bat struts instead of the bilsteins). I've also ordered new strut mounts, end links and swaybar bushings. Anything else anyone can think to tighten things up ?
