The bottom of the air strut now sits about 3/4" lower than the lowest part of the lower strut clamp. I still have 10mm or so to the CV boot, so plenty of clearance there. Remember I have a cylinderical sleeve of 3/16" inch steel around the strut to help bare weight - had to notch that a half inch and modify the rotational key ears to let them drop further. I'm still tucking tire (215/35/18) at 50psi - where ride quality is about ideal.

I had those pieces at one point also. A Dremel with a reinforced cutting wheel takes care of that quickly. Just don't mess with them unless you plan to put sleeves (roughly 6 inches tall) around the shock body against the lower clamp top and the end link brackets.

You also don't really want the weight of your car solely on those little ears. Those are meant to be keys for rotation and not support weight. That is what I "discovered", yes.

New backround on laptop = Check.
New euro front bumper moldings = FTW! makes it even smoother times a billion.
Girlfriend say's "Why don't you make your jag look like that" = Shrugs with a jealous smirk.
Just killed it Jeremy (in the good way).
Its like getting a new issue of your fav magazine when ya were a kid; Every month something fresh!
Congrats man!

You guys are right, this is the work of a talented phorogrpahist. Is it just me, or did the bolt pattern adaptors that are installed push the rims so far beyond the fender flares that the tyres mush be several series too narrow? Or maybe I'm just seeing it wrong. An interesting job I must say, idk about the tyres, I suppose I'm not as familiar with a bagged ride as many.
