    no this cant be without welding in a hole new strut tower then the angles are ****ed the castors ****ed

    best thing to do is use a pedders camberkit for vn

    you can also get vt brakes and if you have the two pice rotors for vt brakes you can get ve rotors machined to fit and use ve calipers

    but as for struts no

    vb-vp the same vr-vs the same vt-vz the same but all have slitely differnt swaybar links

    you can buy from whiteline a swaybar for vn-vp that uses the vl links which are better

    pedders also can sell you whiteline gear

    they also have new lower arms for vb-vp that are thicker and stronger

    but i need to gain clearance thats why i wanted to get vt struts. cause my wheels are 8 inch wide.and they fit on a vt already checked but do not fit on a vs either unless i elong gate the holes on the vs struts, which is not as safe, to raise the spring seat up abit.
    cant i just change the top hat on a vt strut?
    let me know im going to have a f u c k aorund with it anyway sincwe i rreally what these rims to fit

    ^depends on the insurance company

    don't get pedders stuff, get decent brand new suspension parts. it will cost but the old saying "you get what you pay for"

    and when you refer to "fat" wheels, do you mean 22" chromies? or rims with large widths and low offset? just roll the guards or get overfenders or widebody kit.
    You're probably wondering where you are. I'll tell you where you might be. You might be in the room that you die in. This is your wake up call.
