Are you using them with lowering sprnings and having the bottoming out issue?
If so, did you cut your bump stops in during the installation process? If not this will cause your car to bottom out frequently as the bump stops are larger for use with the stock springs.

there trimmed tein S-tech's i just have no travel left in the front. is there any struts that have more travel?


The lack of travel is because you cut your springs. The struts have nothing to do with it.

lets see here.. if there is lack of travel because my struts are bottomed out. there is no travel left in them. i know that for a fact.
