I'm not necessarily sure this is a problem, but to me it seems like it is. I replaced my qa1's with some Strange struts, still using the qa1 springs, and the UPR front kit. Put the new bearings on the top, new hat etc, installed them the same way I took them out.
However, on the last thread on the bottom, which would be the lowest setting, my car has about a 4" gap between the wheels now. With the qa1's it was lower than that, probably close to stock strut height. I have the shocks on the softest setting and have bounced the front end a few times to try to loosen the shocks up a bit with no luck.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this would be the case? Am I missing something here? The qa1 struts were in bad shape which is why I changed them. I wanted to go a little lower than previously but now seems to be sitting higher on the lowest setting.
