i'm interested,

a question though... the downfall of the adjustable ones in my eyes is that the top of the shocker mounts flat/level with the top of the strut tower surface essentially. the stock top mounts the shocker pin approx 2 inches above that as it is an inverted cup design.

that means putting in adjustable strut tops reduces your compression stroke by two inches... this is particularily bad if using stanza struts that arnt cut down... as this also reduces compression stroke by two inches

so with an adjustable strut top and full length stanza struts you have lost 4 inches of travel!!! (something i realised when i was half way through installing them in our rally car, i put stock tops back in)

this is something to consider in your design... and i would definately be more keen if they were cupped like the stock ones to give the additional two inches odd of stroke
