I was told by s13eater to get a 2 and a quater threaded tube....grind the spring cup off the std strut and weld it up. But can this be done at the back as springs and shocks are separate.... Spring is free so it is not a strut... So what should i do.
Any help appriciated
Thanks

Found the thread
Did you have to reinforce the strut tower as i heard it can warp the sheet metal?

this set up just makes the rear end ajustable in height plus you can choose your own spring rates.this uses the original spring and shocker position, so no reinforcing needed.

In what cases will you have to reinforce the strut towers....
Noticed in your coilover thread a lot of the pics not showing... are they still on your photobucket page
Thanks
