60mm on gmax shocks is seriously low having to find mirror wheel alignment as lasers just won't fit

you must have fitted those springs worng somehow, I have since sold 4 more sets from the same batch and all have been 100% fine!


its impossible for 1 set to be different from the others as well, they are all made together in batches and dyno tested (for height and poundage) before dispatch to me.

and if you arent happy then contact me and I will send another set out that has been tested on a car first.
