I will be glad to know what it turns out to be when you find it as well. Very strange.

With the $425 special right now, you can also get some Tokico blues and come out about $600 shipped. This is what I did, but I did it before the coilover special. It was a great deal even then!

Still running rb springs in the rear

. I don't know whats going on but the adjusters were making noise again the last time I tried. I'm thinking of getting king springs to get the height I want. Or something lower than rb springs. I don't know, I even tightened all the nuts and bolts for the links while the weight of the car was on them. I'm stumped. Not really worrying about it now. Too bad, definately not the product. Something is wrong though...

When you installed the rear perches, you put the perch on top of the spring and not the other way around, right?

Yupp, Billy and I talked on the phone a few times about this and what could be the possibilities of why they won't work. We thought one of the links might be bent. The drivers side fit perfectly. The passenger side of the rear end is crooked a little to the rear of the car causing the passenger side spring/adjuster to not sit straight. I took off all the links and watts itself to check if they were bent. Got a new watts cuase the old one was a little bent. Every other link looked straight.
