Just a update. I took the car to the dealership. They will still warranty my struts. However they sayfor now its just one and it is on back order. They also did not install the bumb stops as we had removed (as per Eibach) and I made not of it at time of dropp off (I even left them on my front seat). Here are a few more pics of the car lowered at CC4C: Early AM (if it wasnt for Mike calling I would have slept in. lol) ![http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa56/Nissan69/Spec%20V/DSCN0198.jpg](http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa56/Nissan69/Spec%20V/DSCN0198.jpg) ![http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa56/Nissan69/Spec%20V/DSCN0209.jpg](http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa56/Nissan69/Spec%20V/DSCN0209.jpg) Here is a few shots of my SpecV and BLOCKER’s Tibby ![http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa56/Nissan69/Spec%20V/DSCN0202.jpg](http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa56/Nissan69/Spec%20V/DSCN0202.jpg) ![http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa56/Nissan69/Spec%20V/DSCN0229.jpg](http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa56/Nissan69/Spec%20V/DSCN0229.jpg) ![http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa56/Nissan69/Spec%20V/DSCN0205.jpg](http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa56/Nissan69/Spec%20V/DSCN0205.jpg)
