    their are a number of different brands that do adjustable front suspension setups. what you need is a coil over setup where the ride height is altered using a threaded collar thats part of the strut assembly

    yep, theres a few places that do kits for the vn now, noltec do a bolt on adjustable coilover kit for the vn, looking about $2000 with adjustable strut tops aswell.

    pedders i think are doing them now,not 100% sure though. check nolathane,i know theyre doing vr onwards, unsure about vn.

    When I went in to Pedders they quoted me ~ $1500 and that was without strut tops, and using my original struts.

    i think for the VN they actaully weld a threaded sleeve over top of the original strut (after cutting off the factory spring seat). i have never seen a brand new VB-VP strut were the actaul strut body was threaded like the later model VR onwards type struts
