Richard at V force does them for $1000 + you old tubes.

Give him a call and get it correct.

It all depends what springs etc you get.

I am getting 135lb springs
Dieter is running 275 with helper springs = more $$$

Compare that to a dual Berg style lowered beam that is also narrowed with extended shock towers and new shock

think you will be surprised

I have lowred mine 30mm. cost 450 for new koni front shocks, plus 200 for new lower and stiffer front springs. not quiet as much as the v force struts but works very well. and haven't had any issue even racing on lumpy khancrosses.

I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!

Bix

are yours a narrowed spring??

The V Force ones are 65mm, enabling a wider wheel to go on.

Snotty, Dieter's 1302, is in the V Force add in VMA a couple of issues ago with 18" 911 wheels under stock guards

the smaller spring enables wheels with Porche off set to fit and you can then run 6"- 8"under stock guards without it rubbing the spring.

yes that is the only issue. I run 15 inch x 6 inch rims with 195/60 tires with no problems.

But if you want a cheaper option that the full strut version and will still be running 15inch wheels its an alternative.

If I was building a new gl car and went for larger than 15 inch wheels i woudl get the struts. but as i was a student at the time, paying 200 for a set of new springs was the better option and allowed more :beer
