This will cause your car to ride on top of your struts and they wear out
quciker than you will ever believe....some of the people around here also
have done this and from what i can see its nothing but trouble....i have
actually seen a situation where they put the strut right up thru the strut
tower
All i know is in this state (PA) we prob have the worst rodes and to do
this is just play stupid...DO IT RIGHT OR DON'T DO IT AT ALL!

IMHO
