OK....there is some good information and some bad information in this thread.

I made the strut housings for both PJ (aceinhole) and Monty (McCoy), as well as the OEM based version of Fromxter's.

I can thread the housings on the outside to use an adjustable lower mount, but frankly i think it's a waste. It is an additional cost as well, which is the other reason I don't do it. It adds to the bling factor, but not the functionality of the housing. The flanges are welded where most people would wind up putting it anyway, therefore keeping people from screwing it up. (which neither of the two that have posted would)

Fromxter's are a OEM based S13 yellow which will perform great for a street/autox/HPDE based setup. 400-450 is about the max i would run on this setup without revalving. This setup is considerably more cost effective for the average person than the 8611/8610 setup. The returns on the latter is definately worth it, but you have to be willing to part with your money.

These will basically outdo 99% of the stuff to come out JDM land (basically anything any of you will get your hands on=P If KBee's, D2, KSport, Tein, Tanabe suit you...then you really haven't ever driven a real setup imo.

I have to say it's been a looooong time since i've posted here...lol
