JWX Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 I thought somebody did this but when I searched it came up dry. so I ask, will this lift the front of my hatch any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 McBrat has done that, and yes, it will lift the front. But just like adjusting your springs higher on your current struts, it will mess up your camber.... to counteract it, you need additional lift spacers on the front engine cross-member.

JWX Posted August 21, 2004 Author Share Posted August 21, 2004 or just slot the strut mounting plate thingy(on the body where the strut top meets it) as I don't have a real lift (don't really think I need one yet or ever really) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 It's easier to just put some 1" spacers on the engine cross-member. It's not a lift really.... well I guess it's a 1" lift of sorts. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWX Posted August 21, 2004 Author Share Posted August 21, 2004 so how would that be easier than sloting the strut towers? just asking as your way sounds like you would have to fab up a set of spacers, then unbolt the engine crossmember, get longer bolts and then bolt it back together? my way has one step.
