Oh yea, it definately raised it up....when I push down on the trunk it isn't nearly as easy as before with the stock ones....those things were basically just dead weights. When I took them out, I had to press them down to take them out of course...and they didn't even pop back up...so they definately needed to be changed. I also noticed my trunk is easier to close :D Since there's more pressure holding against it when I close it. How big are your wheels? Just wondering cause there's a lot of room to fill there.... :)

| my wheels are 14" The springs in my car are almost shot, but with the way the springs sag on the back and with the added weight of my install, it perfectly matches how much drop I have in the front. No need to lower the back... I have about 1" clearance between the top of my tire and the lip of my fender. How much wheel gap does yours have now with new struts? |
