New T1R BMAX

[QUOTE=ShocK,Jan 14 2008, 03:17 PM]You cannot install them incorrectly, the rears are way too short to fit on the front.
I actually called Ben today and he is sending me another set of top mounts that will lower the car another 1/2"-3/4".

**UPDATE** 01-15-08
I just got off the phone with Ben at AJ Racing and after sending him pictures of my rear pillowball mounts he let me know that I too had the wrong rear mounts. He explained to me that there was a slight mistake on a few of the systems where the front pillowball mounts were used for the rear also.
I also asked him about ride height and how low you will be able to go on them, and he let me know that fully lowered with minor preload on the rear you will be able to go down to a 1 finger gap, but definitely more in the front. It sounds like you will get a similar drop to the Bilstein PSS9 and still have full shock travel which is a plus in my book.
I had the idea if you wanted to go lower by using a ID 2.5" 6 inch SWIFT coilover spring (12K F+R), but Ben recommended against that as you will lose 1 inch of travel on the shock and also it will react quicker. the stock 7" 2.5 ID spring is highly reccommended or the SWIFT replacement.

Correcto amigo. Also I got another problem with my set that I received, the bottom part of the front coilovers that bolts to the lower control arm (sorry I forgot the technical term) were too short.
