    Default changing front struts/springs

    anyone have any pics, i asked my bro about whats the go as he did his gf's vs, but it its different, hers has 2 bolts at the bottom of the strut, mine doesn't??

    theres a bolt inbetween the back of the rotar and bottom of the shock, but for the life of me i cannot undo it

    i am putting the suspension from my v8 vn to my v6 vn for engine conversion

    any ideas hints or instructions??

    thanks!
