Did you bolt the bottom of the strut to the hub first and then raise it up to the trunk? if not thats why it was hard lol
For anyone else that hasn't figured it out yet, it is a PITA to adjust the rears height while they are on the car. I was able to take the coilover back out and adjust it without disconnecting the anti sway bar or the camber arm(or whatever that is called, lower control arm? idk).

Hopefully they can deal with all that BS at the shop...

? that don't make any sense.. you should be able to manipulate it while its bolted to the hub.
but yea I'm sure the people who are corner balancing your car will probably adjust the height on the car. Its doable but is a pain.

Haha I'm not questioning your expertise. I've had to drop the rear suspension at least 10 times to adjust my dampening because i don't have my extenders hooked up and everytime I have not needed to looosen the bolt on the bottom to line it back up.
I'm agreeing that its odd you had to do that lol.

I have the extenders on simply becuase I hate dropping the rear.

I wasn't able to do a proper comparison with my buddies stance but from what i can tell there isn't much difference.
I think that the powertrix have pillowball uppers and the stance does not. I could be wrong though. I've driven on them for about 150 miles and installed new bushings for my front suspension so far everything is amazing...
