It appears that when installing my intrax shocks, the lower portion of the shock does not have enough clearance with the hand brake calliper.

I've check the installation numerous times with the manual and other builders pics. Everything looks ok.

Anyone else have this problem.

Ignore my last question.

The shock is fully extended, just need to figure out how to compress it to fit.

I had no problem with clearance even at full droop. Close, but not touching...

This may sound stupid, but make certain your e-brake caliper is on the correct side. (mine was labled wrong, and I installed them backwards...and upside down...and they did interfere with the dampers) After installing them the right way round, they were fine. You dont mention if you have the brembo's. (mine are)

I have the brembo handbrakes.

The pulley for the handbrake cable is on the top just like the pics from the CD and all the builders websites. Fully extended, there isn't enough clearance with the caliper. Can't imagine the pics are wrong.
