Sorry yes. Both were. I did not see that black snap ring again.

The black snap ring can be moved up or down the slots..... to reach desired height.

So you could actually use any of the three groves......at a time.

Personally I wouldn't have more than 2 in that around of space. One factory and one that lowers.

This is what I would have to do to the passenger side strut to get it to match the driver side??

Did this mod today but did a .550 inch slot and got 3/4 inch drop. Ride quality is the same, cant tell the difference

Im going to lower the back a bit more and if it still rides good maybe lower the front again with a .80 inch slot...
