Dennis,
So my Pontiac Grand Am that is .4" higher in the front and 1.0" higher rear after installing KYB's with no other changes and have driven for over a year isn't really any higher?

Well one suspension "expert" to another I guess we will have to agree to disagree.

I obviously agree with Dennis. I've use junk KYB's, and many other types of shocks, and I've never had them raise the car at all.

If I can compress them manually, all of which I could, (they're stiff, but not with an opposite force, just resistance) they're not going to raise the car.

But a disagreement is fine with me.

make sure these springs are seated well into the lower a-arms sometimes something as simple as this is overlooked!!!
