so......... last night i lowered my p5 with a set of tein s-tech springs and tokico struts off of a mp3. When i had the front factory struts next to the tokico's i noticed that they are 3/4 inch taller than the stock struts. i really didn't think anything of it at the time and put everything back together. Against my better judgment (and tien's bump stop trim list recommendation of not trimming) i did not trim the bump stops. I put the car back on the ground and took it for a spin, it feels like its riding on the bump stops and full of bounce. My question is, has anyone else noticed the height difference between the struts? Is this common and correct? Or am i going to have to get a shorter strut?
