yeah been looking at so many pics over on scn re the sportlines, but decided on the coils, there both going to ride simular tbh, went for the joms on the recommendation the ride a little better, as the arb wont be getting changed im not too worried about that,

gave the car a wash, used up my last bit of snow foam, totally crap stuff but makes the car look epic, ummmm white

tried this today, and kind of failed,

the strut has to fix into the ball but its on too much of an angle for this to work so i modified the way its works and went the oem solution

i still used the plates, 20x50mm, welded the nut on the back,

how ever i went through the hinge

heres the hole

after that to allow the strut to come down you have to trim this piece


IMAG0225 by cuprajake1, on Flickr

IMAG0227 by cuprajake1, on Flickr

IMAG0228 by cuprajake1, on Flickr

the struts are off an audi a4 13" long, while they hold the bonnet they dont lift it, so i need something stronger which i can have made by a company :)
