doesn't sound too carried away
don't go too stiff with the shocks or the car will tend to 'skip' over the bumps.
what sort of strut tower bar did you get ?? pics would be good as i'm half way thru fitting most of what you've got listed into the front of my sedan this weekend

Quote:This bloke must be pretty old as MacPherson struts were a production reality in 1954 Ford Zephyr's & their four cylinder counterpart, the easily forgotten Ford Consul. Back then they were commonly refered to as 'wet legs'
This means that the earliest design exercises would have begun sometime around 1950, or perhaps even earlier.

Just to get back to the subject for a minute - Does this mean that nobody knows where to get an "off the shelf" strut brace to suit 120Y/1200 and therefore nobody knows how much they cost?

Any half decent suspension shop will be able to knock one up in a couple of hours for you. Personally, I'm fabricating my own out of scrap metal as Harry has done.
