Hi, I recently installed Bilstein TC struts, new coil, mount and spring seats. Result was that it raised the front up to 3 inches in height w/c does not look right to me.

I have a turbo and prefer to intall Bilstein TC than HD due to comfort.

Will this height settle down to its original height?

Thanks for your responses.

    Sumthin isn't right here. What kind of coils? Duz that mean new springs? If so, I'd would look there for your culprit. Why new springs at 71K?

      Hi Stormin Norman,

      I got the genuine coil springs from fcp and the reason why I replaced is I changed the rear to overlode springs w/ volvo shocks. The front spring seats is busted already and making the clunk sounds so I decided to change the whole strut assembly.

      Thanks for your response.

        THIS MIGHT SOUND CRAZY, BUT MAYBE THEY SOLD YOU THE ASSY. FOR THE CROSSCOUNTRY.
