    Struts blown at 85,000 miles ?

    Ride Height hasn't changed. I measured before and after, so I know that 100%. I was just in Vancouver for a week, could have helped you install them! Don't know how you guys live in the rain. It rains 8 days a year, and we don't go out, in fear we get rain drops on our car.
