    Why do you want new struts?

    why not just lower your current ones?

    The strut id imagine would be >$100 easy.

    Springs are $100 a pair for lowered.

    Wanted to buy:

    1. T5 V8 Bellhousing and Clutch fork assembly suit VP
    2. V8 Tail Shaft, T5, Suit IRS VP
    3. T5 VB Gear Box

    PM Me if you got what i need...

    not really, standard shocks/struts are designed to work within certain ranges, ie standard height shocks/strut that are fitted with lowered spring wont last long due to the stress and will give you a more choppier ride, bottom out etc

    I've yet to find front struts/shocks to suit shorten springs, only rears.

    ahh, ok, heres the issue, lets use correct language.

    Strut = Large Metal opject which houses spring and shock. It attaches to tie rod via the tie rod ends and it also houses the hub which connects to a disc etc. etc.

    Shock = Shock absorber.... we all know what they are....

    Which is why i had no idea what he ment...

    I apologise for my post as i thought you ment the actual strut, not just the shock absorber...

    my bad.

    The front struts on a VT are a sealed unit. There is no need to use a lowered shock/strut on the front. Rears it is recommended. I'll have to make a call tomorrow and find out the price of the VT ones.

    Got my dad some lowered heavy duty front strut inserts for his VP. I think they were like $90 each or something like that. Good thing is the brand is Boge & they have a LIFETIME warrenty.
