Hey there, newbie question again! :)

I've been reading everything I can and I can't find a straight answer!

I want to put coilovers in the front of my '85 1200 ute, but I want to change as little things as possible, so I was wondering ... Can I get some 45mm OD KYB Gas Adjust inserts and weld on a coilover sleeve and put on the strut leg (Can it be removed and swapped, this has me stumped as well) and bob is basicly my uncle?

I would also like to fit bigger brakes in the future, so should I look at changing the strut types?

If someone can help me that would be great!

coil over bigger struts 200b,stanza,ect

These are already done ready to go..

Wardy's coilovers with S13 brakes

I seen those for sale, don't really have cash on me atm haha.

wanted to maybe build them later on down the track.

Fair enough, that's gives you the recipe anyway as to what you need to do to build a set.

Thanks for the reply guys!

But what is involved with shorting the strut?

Couple of options I reckon:

1. cut them to length required and re-machine thread into strut tube.
2. cut section out and re-weld threaded setion to the top of the strut.

May be other ways but those prob the simplest..

I just cut the spring platforms off of mine with a 6" grinder and now need to get some inserts.

iv just finnished my coilovers on my 120y struts. you dont need to shorten the strut i left it standard length replaced the shocks with some pedders inserts. and it nearly tucks my 155/80/12s
