Damn, freals on H St? I went there and to the pep boys right there by costco and neither had it so i just got it online.

Regardless, PB BLASTER DIDNT WORK!!! Almost a full can is gone and no luck yet. Any other suggestions?

How long to let it sit? It'll prolly take time. A little spray 2x a day for 5-7 days. Just spraying and spraying will waste it.

I did twice the first day, once the next 2 days and once this morning. Won't heat damage the shocks though?

I know this has nothing to do with the topic OP, but I just wanted to let you know I have your car as my background on my blackberry.

I only want like another inch and a half so its not a huge deal, but i mean it'd be nice to be slammed. Haha was looking for a cheaper solution than replacement.

An alternate $5 spray can that someone might suggest > $1400 H&R's and doing installation allll over again.
