Re: SVX strut replacement (non - KONI)

I was only concerned that they might lower the ride height given that the strut body is a little shorter. If anything I want the ride height up a little. I am running springs with a 165ish compression ratio. FYI the SVX stock springs are only rated at 110! Someone described them well in another post by proclaiming "Holy Marshmallow"!
haha holy marshmallow, i would have to agree with that statement the suspension on mine feels like it floats like a cloud and it actually makes my brother motion sick and i have a lot of body roll
