it appears that way yes, but the rasied centre part is what goes to the top. think of the circlip they have, its only there to stop the spherical bearing from coming out. if it broke, the whole centre part of the shocker will be free to move up and down at free will through your bonnet

aye, have to cut the centre of the strut top slightly larger to make them fit, either that or cut where you want them to sit. and leave them there.

First time i've read this thread... Really good work going on there! Very professional. Nice one Would also like to see the 90mm springs with the 17's fitted as mine is 80mm on 17's and the rim is about 5mm off going into the rear arch at the rear If yours tucks into the arch i'll be well jealous

spend some time on car again today, firstly had some good luck and my speedlines fitted over my v6 brakes without the need for spacers or grinding the caliper or anything, so i was happy about that.


only clears by a few mm but im happy with that
modified the front archs for clearance for speedlines

put the rears on as i wanted to check the wheel with the rear disc conversion
