    I too reamed out the top of the strut hole so I can get a deep socket in there to tighten the strut nut if needed. I did that a few years ago. Some stuts assemblies like to be tighter than others.

    You probably will, but chances are the fiance' will be driving it, so if you see her wave and I am sure she will wave back! Definitely drive up and down 95 alot, I live off of the bridge street exit a few miles down the road.

    Thanks!


    As far as the clunking it is almost 90% gone but still there. I may end up taking it apart again to tighten them down as I don't know if I can get them any tighter without compessing the spring. Now I just need some wheel spacers or possibly new wheels..Anyone know how much more backspacing I would get with the 17x8 AEV Savegre wheels? BTW the fiance was driving it yesterday and she loves it. I'm glad I took Matt's advice and went with the HD spring rates, it is exactly what I was looking for.

    The AEV Savage wheels are 8.5" wide and +10mm offset, they'll stick out about 1.9" further than your stock wheels and look great
