Hey, sorry I forgot to update this thread. They sold. Good luck!

I have posted these on craigslist. They are KYB high quality OE replacement struts with Tein s-tech lowering springs. They are lightly used, but are in great shape. They have no rust, road grime, or any other flaws. I am located in Virginia in the Richmond area. Here's a craigslist ad...

Just letting everyone know, I think I figured it out. Upon further inspection, there is a dent in my oil pan from the previous owner, probably when he had it lowered further than it is now. I'm pretty sure I didn't have the car jacked up high enough to drain some of the oil trapped behind the...

Great, I'll definitely try cleaning the MAFS when I am home for Christmas break.

Thanks for the suggestions! Research is great and helpful, but it's always nice to have some direct suggestions from those who have experienced it before.
