In my 95, I did not have any issues with the CVs until I put the strut extenders on.  Just as it droops max it just starts to bind.  that is about a 3" extention in drop compared to stock.  So it you just flip the strut mount I don't think it would be neccesary to worry about the CVs or dropping the diff,  just my honest opinion.

I emailed, and called they will only drop struts, and shocks from the kit, everything else sells together, and they only knock off about 100.00

Tell them you got in an accident and the old mounts broke and you need to replace them.

Don't e-mail them, call them Direct. If they say no, tell them you'll never buy their product again an you'll bash them on the internet. You words like customer service and Better Buisness Bueru...

They'll comprimise...it's no skin off thier butts to sell you the parts seperately.

If not, try BDS or Boondox, or even that dude of the internet that sells the over priced budget boost. someone will sell them to. you

They will ask for the broken parts to be returned.

So your saying if I flip the front strut mounts i shouldnt have any problems with the cv's??  Cause right now i cant afford any more broken parts

Steve Kramer will laugh in your face, and tell you to "go for it".  He's not intimidated by people who want to gain the benefit of his development and manufacturing experience "for cheap".  You want the blue product, you gotta pay for the whole nine yards.  Deal with it.

This is exactly what is wrong with this industry.  Customers who try to lie and cheat to get their way and when they don't it's CALMINI sucks? Right?  It's no wonder they stay away from posting on these boards....jeez man...get a life.

With my experience with 3 more inches being the start of bindage, I would say that the 1 to 2 inches you get out of flipping the mount is inside the danger zone.  I would also say that if you put a 2 inch spacer in front it will lift it 3 inches so you will lose an inch or 2 of down travel from stock.
