Ok. Just called Pfadt and was told that this gap is mormal. I've been freaking out. I guess I just don't understand why the gap changed from none, to what I have now.

You may have remembered it when the suspension was hanging. With the suspension unloaded, there is no gap. Loaded, the strut is fully seated and the washers will have the gap.

I had allready lifted it.
The guys at Pfadt said that the retainer washer is only there to keep the strut from falling out when the car is lifted and the suspension drop. I do feel kinda like an idiot. Quote:
I talked to Scott and he went out to his to look and there was the same gap. |

I just put on the Eibach Pro Kit. I had the car jacked up on 4 stands just until the front tire left the ground. The rear springs and sway bar is a breeze. Keep in mind YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REMOVE EXHAUST. I'm sure it will make it easier but I had my new springs and sway bar installed in less than 2 hours including removing the old stuff and clean up.
Now, the front. YOU DO NOT NEED TO JACK THE ENGINE UP!!! Again, it may make it a little easier, however, I had the new springs and sway bar in in less than 2 hours including removal of the old stuff and clean up. TRICK: the front sway bar, remove totally the front end links which will make snaking the old/new bar easier. The way I did it was I snaked the bar out the passenger side and and the new one in the same way. Be sure to tork all strut bolts front and rear as well as front/rear end links with vehicle on the ground. The back are easy to get to but the front you have to turn the wheel to reach strut bolts and end links. It's not rocket science, you'll figure it out.

I wouldn't think you would need to break them loose. I would just re-torque them.
