Within 2 minutes of Ty looking at my suspension he found my recent bout of commodorism is due to the spring seat on my new struts being higher than the stock struts. Ive ordered some king springs low so we shall see what happens

so i ended up buying STI Genome Struts and springs complete.

From GDB 02 model

I assume im going to have this same problem?
I thought that many people had put sti struts in libertys with no problems, thats why i went the way i did buying the 02 struts.
im now not too excited to fit mine, too scared to be sitting at 4X4 height too

Take one of your front struts out and compare them. My problem is the lower spring seat is about 0.5 - 1 inch higher up on my STi stuff than the stock struts. Im not sure about GDB gear though. Besides the 4x4 height they are 100x better

ok i see what your saying, i have a second set of shagged gen 2 stock struts sitting in my shed for some reason so ill be able to compare them to the sti struts without having to lift a spanner =)
