^ yea my bad. So i guess ?
Strut = shock + spring
Shock = shock

So for oem setup we have a struts up front and shocks in the rear.

No worries...just wanted to say that cause I was confused by it all before I purchased my first set of coilovers. Yeah, strut is shock + spring + shock absorber and more on other cars.

For those confused on how True Coilovers work, this is back when I first installed my coilovers awhile back and a SSR GT3 test fit

The spring bucket is not used anymore

I had the same issue but mine was hitting and I had to raise the car and eventually buy different tires...I failed at getting it all right when I got this last set of rims lol

Some of you guys are intermixing the term strut with shock. A strut is actually a suspension component made up of a spring and shock...etc.
I was going to switch my suspension but I decided to keep these for a bit, riding stiff helps me a bit, the wheel wont hit the fender when it rebounds more static I guess you can say

Hey Choleaoum these are the first pics I've seen of your setup. Looks sick. I don't want to thread jack, so can you start a new thread about your ride. Curious on your wheel specs. How are those bags treating you?

Looks like we have a third ride to add to the flush and dumped in Long Beach Sedan photo shoot (although please don't dump it all the way cause you'll make RC and I look too high...LOL)
