yes the struts have the following attributes.
Shortened strut legs to suit your vehicle, with special valve rate shock absorbers.
Adjustable height spring platforms, with race rated springs matched to the shock rates.
Each strut and insert is stamped with unique identification number
Strut is powder coated in your choice from a range of basic colours
So basically each strut is matched to models 510 -1600, 1200 - 110, 120Y -210, 310-SUNNY, B120-1200 UTE, 180B - 610, 810 -200B, A10-STANZA and 910 -BLUEBIRD.

its a good idea. the long upright link would allow it to be made into an adjustable front bar setup using a clamp fitting at the swaybar end of the link with a custom sway bar of any diameter you desire

At first I wondered how your discription might effect the steering but the long lever length on the upright link resolves that issue.


Long upright link and short horizontal link on the strut.

Its an idea that has been used in motorsport for years, I guess I never really considered it for 1200's.


Being an Aussie there 1200coupe, you'll find it used on production Commodores as well..

I have attempted to draw the setup I was trying to explain in the previous post by "adapting" L18_B110's photo!....hope you don't mind mate. A Rod end is attached to the strut just below the spring platform with a rod connecting the sway bar to the rod end.


Ahhh I get it now - thanks for making the effort to redo LB's pic
