because it was sitting there on my bed, next to my laptop... I'm showing of my sheets too, no mention of those?
Mr. Incredible, I have heard these can bit a bit noisy, and is normal, but not sure how noisy theyre supposed to be, or whats too much. i'll try to post up my thoughts/impressions when i finally find a weekend to put mine on.

Thanks for posting up the pics. I just got some 5mm spacers so that I can lower it some more... Does anyone know if I need longer bolts with 5mm's?

^^^yep TSW makes good studs.
MUShadd- Think about waiting a few days after you install you coils to get an alignment. You might want to make adjustments once you drive the car a bit which will throw you alignment off.

alright so i put the 5mm spacers on and there is literally less than an 18g wire's worth of clearance between the tire and the locking rings on the coilover... I'm about $85 deep into getting the coils to fit with these wheels and I don't even want to keep them very long, i'm sort of annoyed. I'm tempted to get some new wheels that will fit better without the spacers. any suggestions anyone?

You're gonna need 8mm, I wouldnt go 10. I got my custom wheel spacers at www.wheeladapter.com they were $280 shipped with the correct centerbore. You should go ahead and change your wheels if thats what you're planning to do so you're not waisting time and money

Mr. Incredible, that is weird. I can't tell is...is that the front or rear? (looks like the front)...did you use the supplied spacers in the rear? I have 215/45 tires and 5mm spacers..I can fit a finger between my tire and coil. what is your wheel offset?

Thats the front... I didn't get any spacers with them, was I supposed to? I've emailed Stratmosphere several times in the past with no response. Not sure on the offset but they are OEM S-Lites with 205/45s
spacers came for the rear struts. mine were taped to it in a little baggy. and goodluck getting them to reply to emails.....they are terrible. you are better off calling.
but since those are your fronts, id either go to 8mm spacers or swap wheels and/or tires.
