yes 2 year revival. okay since this is alongside welding bottom superstrut leg to aftermarket coilover. this is the first time i've seen this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-FRONT-COILOVER-J...965&vxp=mtr not how the leg is not welded to this custom coilover but your are able to adjust the ride height of the coilover via the superstrut leg. just like you'd find avaialable to adjust height on megan and bc coilovers found on mcpherson suspension. you can adjust the ride height via the body of the mcpherson so not to affect stroke. has anyone else seen this before? -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts

This is timely..... I recently got a set of BCs for my GT-FOUR. I was not thrilled with the fitment of the new coil overs into the cast suspension parts... I had local fab shop create new inserts, interference fit on the cast parts and friction fit on the coil overs... This created a much more confidence inspiring assembly that would rely less on the eventually welding that holds it all together.

Hi there,
I have a carina GTI that I want to fit coilovers onto. The carina shares a simular superstrut setup like the st205 in this tread. BC told me that the coilovers from the celica st205 also can be welded to fit the GTI. Any thoughts on this? |

Great write up, thanks for the info.
I m wondering if the hole on the superstrut leg is possible to develop play over time so in that case lets say an older superstrut shock will be waste of time and money to do this. I m hearing a lot about superstrut issues over time and I would like to know a bit more. Or the problem apears on the figure 8, camber control arm and banana arm? |
