Hi Andrew,

Hope your strut conversion is almost there.
The only steering component you will need off the Stanza is the arm which is bolted to the bottom of the strut - this should come with the strut anyway! The 1200 tie rods bolt
straight on.

Well cutting coils off springs is an easy job if you have the right equipment. You will need a manual spring compressor - if you don't have one, take them to a suspension place - they
will have a mechanical one which will take 2secs.
Use an angle grinder or hacksaw to cut about 2 coils off. You might want to get new srut inserts too.

Get about 2 inches more thread on your castor rods- that will give you about the right amount and the option of getting a little bit more castor if you want.
