[mitsuclipsegsx]

Ok i took my car to pruven performance to get my koni shocks & struts installed non adjustable, and I got it back the car the looks high??? it was like a lift kit, i thought it would lower it, why did this happen,maybe casue their new.....

Second he sayed these i am guessing their called lock nuts..... ddin't fit, and today i looked and nothen on the tire.... shouldnt this be on???????

If your old suspension was worn, it's possible it was sitting a little lower, but likely it's about the same as it was before, you're just noticing it now.

Shocks and struts won't lower a car - you have to mod the springs to adjust ride height (unless you have coilovers).

Those lock nuts are supposed to fit.

If they came off, they should go BACK ON. Simple as that.


As for the shock thing. Looks alittle high. That could be because your stock shocks were worn. As said above, the ride hieght changes with springs or coilovers. Not the shock itself.

That looks a LOT high. Did you replace the springs as well? If not, I have no idea what it could be.

You could compete in off road races with me now though :laugh:

Yeah, the stock 2G ride hieght leave ALOT to be wanted. I was in the same boat.
