there's no way that was on threads at all, they don't go down that far on the shaft.

The way I understood it is that the front isn't on any threads?

maybe, i would never not include both locking nuts or leave it hanging like that, that's asking for trouble and incredibly unsafe/unstable/etc..

Mine are approx. the same on each side.
I just had them at the last thread on each side from and back.

I didn't think the threads went that far down on the strut..?

my front passenger one isn't adjusting as far down as the front driver one, and it takes me more threads to move it the same distance compared to the driver side.

on the rear my passenger rear is about 1/2in lower on the struts threads than the driver side in order to obtain the same drop as the driver side.

OH YEAH!!!!!! I fixed the issue with the eBay Order!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm getting mine FINALLY!!! I'm Psyched!!! I'm practically jumping of the walls!!!!

Scionlife's First PR'ican tC with Racelands!!! Now Begins the wait for arrival
and after that the wait for my car to go into the shop to finally be fixed, So that means no car for 3 weeks and no racelands till then!!! I will come back then with a FULL REVIEW on them since PR's Roads are murder, Literally you can't drive straight without hitting some kind of pothole, street crack or cement abnormality...

THIS, my friends is where Racelands will be given a Run for their money!!!


BTW: Raceland's customer Service was good all the way through, slow the first day, but after that I got my well deserved attention with an array of options if the Ebay Transaction didn't go all too well. Definitely these guys are trying hard to get into the scene, as a quality company!!!

I had the same problem in the rear. I ended up taking it off and putting it vall back together, I dont know what i changed but it fixed the problem. let me know if you find the problem I am interested to see what it is. I am a coilover noob this is my first set.
