Have you installed quick struts on your car?

Side thought...

I wonder if a slight "lift" is engineered into these quick struts so that "Joe Public" can clearly recognize that their old shocks/springs were clearly worn out because now the vehicle is "back to normal height"?

You know...the average guy can clearly see a difference...helping to justify that the shop pointed them toward that selection?

Shop Guy - "See, I told you the old ones were worn out"

Thoughts?

I'm thinking if all 4 corners were replaced and the front end is still higher than the back end, something is wrong; and the something is probably the front coil springs that came with the new front quick struts.

I only did the fronts...rears are leaf springs.
