This sounds dumb, but it looks like you got confused and put the tein springs back in without the adjuster collars.

350Zteve: that would do it!

they are way shorter... didnt think of that...

THAT MADE ME THINK OF SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!

I believe with the TEIN BASIC you get rid of the rubber upper and lower spring seats... the big 2" thick rubber chunks...

those are missing...

you need to get the upper and lower rubber spring seats...

yes we can get it shipped to you... you will have to pay shipping...

we are about a 30 min drive from LA...

give the dealer a call: I believe Justin is working today...

626-305-3000 / 866-211-7389

but also, we need to figure out which one is missing..

one is around $6, the other is around $26 each
