first, I will apologize to tokyojoe. I did take your grocery comment personal because who likes their ride to be called a grocery getter? no big deal. as far as my screen name goes. if you read my original post you would see that I used to build import( JAPanese) cars. I just happened to race them. Hense the name japracer. its just a name. I would like to thank everyone for their help with my question. maybe i'll wait for the 4-6" to come out.

thats a step in the right direction Japracer. If somebody throws an insult at you here-its probably a joke

the problem is accelerated strut wear. I have the Rusty's kit myself. The only spacer kit that shouldn't do this is the Daystar (why its so highly regarded).

why does the rusty's kit wear out struts, and what is the difference between the rusty's and the daystar

the difference is that the Daystar kit comes with a new top plate the relocates the strut. Other spacer kits do not and because of this people have complained about premature strut failure. I has to do with suspension geometry (which is way to complicated to explain with being able to show you without hand motions)
