Hey Jokster, Are you running the same set up as me? UaS & KYB? If so, lift ur vehicle on a hoist and look @ both front bags. On the outside near the steering knuckle, see if there is any wear marks or tears on the lower part of the bag. Generally, when you ride low the bags are fatter and may rub the steering knuckle. I had to rebellow both my front bags. Luckily, I found out before anything happened.

Yeah that price isn't bad at all. I like how the bags bolt on to just the top mount, eliminating having 2 parts (the top mount and the bags upper plate).

Here's how my fronts look.

Hmm... I've had my car up on the lift quite few times these last few weeks and can but help looking at my setup cause I'm still intrigued and also just sacred that something may happen with my bad luck as usual. Anyways, I havent seen any wear at all, I'm gonna double check again thanks. and yea, I'm running kyb and uas.

So how many pieces in total? 2 or 4? Will I need the spacers too for my bags not to rub? I drive LOW, and ordered mines yesterday, but I forgot to ask.

I dont think there are "a lot" of spacer threads... You sure you didnt read threads about spacers for the wheels and not the struts

yeah, I heard spacers, and I thought you where referring to something else. I have no clue what a spacer looks like, only heard that they relate to camber and tires. I see know that THESE spacers are just to raise the bag up.

i think RCA's made the bag rub no matter what, can you check if you rub when you dump it completely?

i think your bag is still rubbing, as in the picture looks like the arm is still resting on your bag.

yeah, a buddy of mine still has the rubbing problem. with these new mounts i know right. he has front RCA's they might have taken away the clearance. but i have no idea.
