Default PB Blaster will deff be your friend. I found a punch and hammer helps

to get it going. At that point I can almost just use my hands for the entire amount.

Second year in a row I've made mine taller.

Default Stasis units. Only raised the perch 1.5".

But because the spring no longer has free play, pre-compressed now, the car sits higher than the 1.5" the perch was moved. I can easily fit my fist between the tire and fender.

And it is indeed sweet for Winter. Made last years snow storm a non-event. Well, it made it a more fun event actually. :-)

Clean the threads ALOT when you get the wheels off before trying to turn the collars.

Default Sweet. But i know my STaSIS setup won't get that high. I am at the highest

the rear can go now. And i can fit a couple fingers in there. Oh well.

Default anyone have KW coilovers? trying to see how high they go in the rear...

i can get 2 fingers in the back... the front wants to go up to 4 fingers but i cant raise the rear without compressing the spring so before i do that i want to ensure i can go up higher else there is no point in trying.
