    Default ride height of ppv sruts

    If i go to replace my original FE2 struts to the newer ppv ones will that alter ride height? i kinda like the wheel well gap between the tires and wheel well but i didnt know if the ppv struts will make it sit higher?

    I think the spring seats are all the same, so unless you change the springs, your wheel gap shouldn't change.

    +1. Don't forget to get new strut bushings/bearings too (that may raise things ~1/2 inch).

    I didn't notice any change in ride height, I did all the bushings and the PPV struts but left the stock springs.
