When you lift the rear of the car off the ground and measure the distance between the middle of the shock mounting bolts, it should be about 106mm. My guess is that his car is much longer than this, haha. Use the droop screws to adjust this.
106 mm measured with a caliper - not sure whey he is having issues...he has also had the screw in the shock piston back out and somehow turn the piston upside down inside the shock body several times....I have watched him use loctite on it - no idea why this is happening to him??
