Lowered?? Maybe the car has been returned to legal hieght, but I think you
know that lowering is right out the window, making the slot question moot.
If the car is legal hieght, there is some precidence here. Neon ACR struts
can be run on a non-ACR Neon which did not come with the slots. You need to
locate the the hole correctly, and weld a washer in place so there is no
more adjustment. This may or may not have been made official, but I
beleive it was clarified. Running with the slots in place should draw a
protest eventually.
