Had these for several months now and wondering why the rear strut tubes are longer than before? The gen before these I could lower 'til I scrape the ground. Right now my spring is just snugged and tube is all the way in the rear lower bracket.

Wondering if the set I got were an accident or if they were replaced for longer tubes. If replaced, why it was not stated in the products info.

I don't mind buying a pair of shorter ones for the rear, but just thought low and stiff is what these were all about.

Correct me if I'm wrong thanks!

there was a change at some point to that specificaiton.

If you want to double check the length of the part to see if it is correct, just tell us the measurements and I will check it against the current specification.

Ok just measured the tubes threaded body length and it measures at 13.5-14inches. Somewhere around that area, does that sound right to you at all?

13 inches for the black threaded section of the damper is the spec.

1.5 inches shorter. basically some customers complained that the rear raised all the way was still dumped. spec was changed at that time.
