its called a BFH. dont need to save the strut.
BFH obviously is the solution, im saying usually when jack the front of the car up, the strut fully extends and lets the wheel hang in the air, in this case the spring is going to fully extend and push the control arm down a lot further, the spring will still be under compression... so removing the hub would be a bit of a pain in the ass... Of course, when I replaced a strut that this had happened too, it was on a stock spring an aftermarket one might not create such an issue, the stock spring pinched the hell out of my fingers when I took the assembly apart.

Great Koni quality.
im telling ya. I am saving for a set of ksports but this just dipped in to that fund by about 170 bucksGreat Koni quality.
I have seen the destruction of a few koni's here and it makes me wonder. How can mine withstand all the abuse I put them through, and then lightly driven ones fail? Maybe everyone should just drive the snot out of their cars. It makes very little difference to me though. I will eventually pony up the dough to get a real racing dampener. I don't need performance as much as durability and fade resistance. One day maybe.
never had a car fight me so bad to be fixed as this one! Jeez it was a PITA! I'm removing the camber kit as I dont want to chance breaking anymore of these and I'm actually thinking on removing the koni's all together now and selling the set when my new one gets here so I can buy some ksports.
