    A setting higher on the shock? o_O That doesn't seem right. Each setting is around a 1/4 inch difference. That trim spacer is only 5mm.

    Edit: Oh, I guess, maybe they're close enough it would work in a pinch. Prefer to keep them all at 0 though so as not to eff up the spring lift

    Yep one setting higher. Read that on their site but I believe the spacer would correct it also.

    You can't put an OME trim packer on a Bilstein shock, won't fit. You can put a 1/4" top plate between the frame and shock mount. I wouldn't recommend pre loading OME coils by setting the Bilstein's a notch higher than the zero mark.

    Someday :annoyed:

    Last buyers backed out after I submitted an ultimatum offer. They were nitpicking and asking for way too much. We ended up caving a bit just to move it but they just asked for more. So I submitted a take it or leave it offer. Got tired of it. No sleep lost.

    Ended up pulling off the market for now cause dog needed her surgery. Going back on market after spring break.

    Yea the market always picks up in May(End of School) and August(Beginning of School). Nobody wants to take their kid out school in the middle of the year and thats when apartments jack their rates up too because they know people are moving. I got into my one apartment $300 cheaper than my neighbor because I had moved in around February.

    Why would that matter? I guess I don't understand where the trim spacer is positioned. I thought it rested between the spring and the top mount and since it's an OME coil it would be compatible.

    Sounds like I'll just go without then. See how it looks/handles first then fix it if need be.

    You know, Chris, if I get this wrong I'm just gonna have to come up again and have you fix it. :poking:
