Nice shot!1 When I had the '94 FWD, there was NO PROBLEM getting the inside rear tire in the air (enough to slide one's hand under it). Shows the car is really "sticking well"!! Amazing what those race tires do for you!! However, I have never gotten the inside rear tire off the ground in the AWD. But it DOES stick!!

You may have to pull a few strings first.

I'm not touching those strings . Hocrest!!! Seriously though, if someone sends us a decal it'll go on. It just isn't in the budget this year or next.

Oh yeah in my attempt to lower it today. All 3 of the struts that I pulled don't return up when pushed down. I'm assuming the 4th won't either. Maybe that would help us get our 6 seconds! Ah, she's lowered now about an inch in the rear and 2 in the front so it is close to stock again (at least up front).

I would say wait until it's healed. No sense risking reinjuring it.

Ben,
Yep, they're shot - mine did the same thing when I had the Konis installed. I do still have one rear strut that does return fully (for how long, who knows?). The bright side here is that I've now got 4 brand new housings to use if I ever decide to upgrade to Konis with coil overs

Hay Ben, I'm guessing they are still better than the rear struts in your car.

Did Dave tell you about the two big puddles on the car trailer?

How is that warranty thing going anyway?
