pretty sure you can get them off US ebay for about a dollar, plus $90 shipping when the AUS dollar was good

yeah got them off ebay, was searching around and found them... he said steel and i bought them, they werent, out in a dispute with ebay got some $$$ back for misleading add and he said i could keep them. Short of xraying them for stress cracks now... they appear to be fine and no damage. they survived pigdog metal punch test to test the hardness and durablity of the alloy.

They are for honduhs. with stanza and 200b need a 51mm id on the alloy threaded sleave from emeory.

where did u get your threaded section for the struts?


Well I bought mine off ebay for a Subaru forrester, I figured for the price of the ONE set of the steel ones I can have TWO sets of alloy ones to play with

Just have to get around to getting the struts cut

mine and unfams cars are running basically the say struts

stanza/200b struts, mine are cut down stanza ones with corrona inserts(very low ride height needed) unfams ones are 200b or stanza struts cut down to suit 240z inserts
both are using ebay spec alloy theads and perches with custom top perches on mine and tein top perches on unfams

the collars were a rather neat fit on the strut which was good, so i just welded a step onto the struts(bit of cut down pipe so the top is flat) for the thread to sit on and then used grub screws in the top of the thread to stop any rotation and movement upwards

so far they seem to be working all good and seem to be decent quality material....fr all of $100 to do both sets of struts neither of us are complaining

coz mik has a pic...i'll out do him , man my brakes look small
