I've gotta check out the damage in the morning but shit, if I didn't stop to roll that spliff this never woulda happened. I don't know what to expect for sure....looks kinda like my camber is really fucked.....maybe my $15 camber mod blew up or something???

I have the same "problem". Have you looked at it with a full tank of gas and with your tank around 1/4? You will see about a 2 finger gap with it at 1/4 and less at full. I guess mitsdodge made the suspension compensate for heavier loads due to a full tank of gas vs an empty tank. There's my $0.02

Well went out this morning and lifted the car. My coilover took all the weight of the bottoming out cause the shock was toast.

o well fixed.
