Brett - February 23rd, 2007 at 09:22 AM

I am hoping to lower the front of the super like this.

But I don’t want to wreck the current struts or be off the road too long.

If you have some front Struts that will suit, let me know.

Gather you will be after 3 bolt.

You going to lower them yourself or want it done??

I believe they are 3 bolt, and I will be attempting to lower my self. Thats why I didnt want to hack into the original.

I will check the originals and repost tomorrow.

I wouldnt bother spinning off the cup and rewelding for that price

The struts are 3 bolt.

Thanks for the link Rose but this is just a little project I wanted to do in my spare time. I have a very well equiped machine shop so the mods should be very easy, and cost not much more then a second hand set of struts and the bits to recondition them.

If anybody can help me out.

Saw these on Egay, $10 starting bid, less than 2 days to go.

Hi Barry

The price is OK but they still use the stock OD springs, so your still limited with wheel choice. I would rather put the money towards some narrow struts.
