Default UAS fixed the problem!!!
I think every member here with UAS has had this problem


Got these from Zack@UAS last thursday, put them on on Sunday


The outcome is this, I actually installed the bottom plate wrong. I fixed it yesterday and the spindle is pretty far from the bag. The bag is higher now, giving me plenty of room. I'll try to take pics tonight. But even with it intalled wrong(LOL) there's still clearance.


It did not affect the lift or drop at all, everything stays the same

All the way up(bottom plate already installed properly)



All the way down:

So if you install the plate up side down, it would make the spring looks higher?

Yes, because there is another plate that was welded on the strut and the pipe of the plate acts like a spacer

i thought the problem was riding too low, the bags rubs because of the floppyness of the bags. is that picture of your car on ride height?

No, that's not ride height. Ride height is just a little higher. This now allows me to ride lower without the bags rubbing on the spindle.

Are you talking specificly about yours or every strut for the GS is like that? Because I do have a problem where my right side is higher than the left side.

I think more specifically mine. My installer welded the original plate UAS provided when I bought the setup to prevent it from moving around. I'll try to take pics to show what i'm talking about.
