The ride is very good. Granted they have only been on the car for about 20 miles and everything is still settling in. However I drive down a street that would always give a little bounce with my lowering springs now is much smoother. I'm not sure about buying a rebuild kit, but I know Megan racing will rebuild them when the time comes. I know these will out last the factory struts anyway.

Oh ok, yea you have to remove it. I guess it was updated for for 10s and newer. Any coil over you install requires these to be removed. They just pop off with a screw driver.

Thanks for the review and write-up. I saw these and was wondering if they were a good buy and I think I'm sold. For the price you can't beat it. PM sent for the dealer info!

I followed this guide and they didn't remove it. What's the purpose of removing it?

Looks like I got something to do this weekend! Looks to me that it is just for noise suppression. Maybe I should just leave it in. LOL |

Haha! I first put mine together with them on but something didn't seem right, that's when I found that thread. The only thing I can think is that the load isn't evenly distributed on the bearing and could cause premature wear. If you do take them out youll lose about 1/4" of ride height in front, that's about how thick they are. It's easy to do though.

Here is how I originally assembled them, but when I tightened them down the spring kinda went crocked because the adapter won't sit flush on the foam piece.
Heres a good pic of the foam next to the spring adapter.
