    As for the rears, they'd be different. I can measure my spare rear struts later to see if you want (BG struts)
    Thanks---yeah I'd be interested in knowing if you don't mind---somewhere down the line that info will come in useful/be needed for something...Thanks!

      The rears should be the same width, the upper (?) hole is in a slightly different place so you can make it work by slotting the mount- I just wanted to avoid doing that to a set of expensive coilovers.

        looks like just over 1/2" on both top/bottom holes

          Very cool thanks---any chance you have a measurement top to bottom holes on center? Thanks again!

            just have to subtract the distance from the bolt hole to the end of the mount...so just over 1/4"...so say 3" apart center to center.

                Probe front lower mounts, probe rear mounts, slotted holes, washers...WTF? where does the Probe fit into all of this?

                Am I getting a suspension that requires me adding washers and scratching my head to figure out WTF it is I was sent?

                Are these things going to fit right up or do I need to place a call to Mcgiver to have them installed?

                And while I'm at it, based on what I have read on this thread, I am trying to understand why these adjustable coilovers only allow you to lower your car only a slight bit more than stock height?

                Isn't the purpose of a coilover just that? allows u to lower your car somewhat significantly? Like, no I wasn't looking for MX3 struts, but I WAS under the impression I could lower the car somewhat...

                Look I took delivery and I'm not complaining...lol... I just want a clear understanding of what I'm getting here...

                  Your funny!! You ordered BG GTX struts so your getting BG GTX struts---no need to modify anything---Atomic ordered a set with probe stuff, so he could run probe spindles. You can lower these struts a ton---the other gentleman already had slammed cars and wanted to go even lower---Kaleo was thinking about taking the springs out and putting the car on the ground for shows---we ordered them shorter front springs so they could go super low---lower than what's safe to be driven...you might want to call Mcgyver anyways though---never hurts...

                    I really should have gotten in on this. Especially since the price just went up $200..

                    Anyone have any BF 2wd coilovers they want to sell?

                                Wait, who's josh?...lol gimme a screen name, i'm semi CP stupid.

                                And what's everyone else running? Are the GTX ones going to need modifications to be installed? If so i rather just stick with the MX3 set.
