Default Help w/ STaSIS TS install!!!

I have the front setup, but the rear is a problem. I can't get the rear of the car lower than 26.5". Everything seems to be installed correctly.

I tried to call STaSIS, but nobody's home 8 - (

Any ideas? Wrong spring perch?

TIA

Default Did you pull that rubber bushing off the upper spring mounting location?

(where the CNC'd upper spring perch should be placed?

Oh, and the lower perch can (and should) drop down further than the bottom of the threads on the shock body. It can do this because the threading inside the perch is on the upper part of the perch (the part that sits inside the spring windings). Keep turning that perch down until you reach your desired height (probably another 8-10 threads from the sounds of it).

You didn't put both wheels in the air to do the install?

7" would be perfect. Wonder why they don't sell it that way.
