hey guys, I installed my AGX/Intrigue setup about four months ago, and I just noticed that my front struts are rubbing my hood ever so slightly. not enough to dent the underside, but just enough to rub on the paint. has anybody had problems like this before, or am I the first one?? Does anybody have any ideas as to how to fix the problem without changing out my suspension? I really like the ride that I am getting with my current setup and it has made my PT hjob much nicer on the pocketbook in terms of MPG also. I have thought about taking the car to a shop and having them lift the back of the hood up just enough with shims, but I don't want it to look bad. I am sending an email to KYB to see if there are any suggestions from their point of view also. any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

Did you use new strut mounts?

as far as I can remember I did. my wife accidentially deleted all my pics of any of the car rgarding the suspension, so I can't look at the pics to confirm. I can't even remember what exactly the mounts look like to try and remember if I replaced them new or not.

the mounts are the black things that get bolted to the car and is what keeps the spring compressed
