quick questuion pigdog why are yu recommending not using stanza struts? are they to big?


Stanza struts need to be shortened, they are too long for a lowered 1200, I shortened the stanza struts in my partners car with 300zx kyb inserts and havent looked back.

On a lowered car, you run out of suspension travel when the strut leg is the standard length, this also means using shorter inserts.

Some people cut/weld the strut tube so you still have the thread at the top for the gland nut, some people cut the tube and retap the top (you need an engineer or machine shop to do this).
