ok this is my idea I haven't hitting the parts to try it yet but it make sence in my head
could I use a set of front struts from a civic since there basically just a cartage an the cut the bottom half off the factory celica strut to make the sleeve for the cartage it sounds like a good low buck setup to me since honda parts are cheap an they have the right perch for coilovers any thoughts comment would be great -------------------- 95 gt coupe, v6 swap weekend toy

I've been looking into this setup on superstrut suspension only because no company makes good racing coilovers for superstrut equipped vehicles.
Honestly it would take trial and to get a setup like this using different parts from different companys. I've looked and looked but no company makes struts a little bit shorter than our stock suspension. They are either too long or too short. Our Mcpherson geometry hinders us from making our own coilovers. Just buy Megan coilovers for $950 and be done with it. Trust me I've looked and looked all over the place calling just about every suspension company here in the USA and its gotten me no where. There is a company over in malaysia that does custom coilovers but they will run you over $1,500 easily and are meant for racing setups... -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts
