The kit is nice... the dampening is superb.. I haven't bottomed out once..
the front struts have a HUGE stanchion... so the bumpstops no slidey over it, but I've never had an issue. The stock bumpstops fit the rear shocks fine tho.
It's too bad you got some wrong parts... unlike yourself, the install on my car went seamlessly.
I agree that it is a perfectly balanced kit.. the car maintains it's good road manners, while picking up better handling. I noticed that at first, the car seemed almost over-damped... but I either got used to it, or the car settled, and seems perfect to me.
Now go take it on an 8 hour roadtrip on a northern canadian highway, and let me know how your neck feels. I don't notice it anymore, but passengers complain about neck fatigue a bit on the long rides.
I took a 15 hour trip in the winter to thunderbay taking highway 11... I was a bobble-head doll by the end of the trip.
