update qa1's

well the struts are on....however for some reason the billet mounts i have from hunter motorsports will not fit with these. so hopefully those with spohn have a different diameter. once i get the car back we'll know a little more.

yeah, i would think they are close to the same. i haven't directly seen the struts yet so i can't say much. custom mounts had to be made to use the 12 ways.

I can almost guarantee they're gonna be the same if not damn close.

good deal, can anyone get a measurement on the stock unit?

alright, turns out the shaft of the unit isn't long enough.....so either you would have to use a custom plate or apparently not use them at all. they had to ditch my stock/billet units and basically just cut up a stock template as a base plate for the setup. surprisingly though they ride incredible but i'm also using them in an air application so i can't really base it off of stock ideals.
