We just never found anyone to go there with an X.
But he has measurements!
did he ever get the width of the bottom of the shock as is shown in the pictures?
But i know what you mean, wouldn't they just purchase a few struts themselves and do some R&D on them?

with work/Holidays and being snowed in i haven't been able to get to struts yet, at this point i'm thinking of just buying one and sending it to them.
But i do get a sense that there is no motivation in communication or research on BC's part.

I do have my springs going on Jan 7th.

What air suspension are you looking at? Is there a link? How's the fitment?

LOL... You're starting to sound like I did six months ago.
I got tired of begging them to help us too.
Now I'm on springs and just sitting back and waiting now.

By the time these thing become available, I'll be driving something new! :P

I just reread all your posts and yea I do sound like you. As of now if I'm not happy with the springs I might go the custom Koni route, however the more i drive the more I get used to the suspension and the gap (I actually think the suspension is pretty stiff-did they change the shocks to accomodate the 100lbs weight gain?) I think getting top notch summer tires will give the best short term performance gain

Just buy them. Lol, I think it will take at least a year for something to come out regardless of how active we are. I've dealt with dozens of tuners in the past that were working on new products, but I dot get the same sense of urgency on BC's part.
I hope I'm wrong...

I was quoted $600 for all 4 by Riverside, so if think 2 are $300.
Install $150-$200.
How long have you been running your springs and how many total miles do you have on the front shocks?

I really hoped we'd benefit from the companies making parts for the AWD GTR but nothing yet.
I agree that stock height bothered me at times and then not so much at other times but I'm so happy with the drop now.
Just get the damn springs and be done with it.

i would invenstigate by purchasing a GT-R strut, however how much would a strut from a GT-R cost? jeezus-$500, No thanx

hey fellas, i'm wondering why is that everyone concerned with the gap in the front?
Looking at my car, the gap in the rear is actually larger than in the front. Did they change something in '09's?
