purchased, not installed. - I'm actually going to a full frame and cutting out all the unibody structure. - so, my struts will be mounted to pipes tied to my cage, not the factory wheel welss(won't exist...) - anyhow, If you're talking daily driver, some companies don't reccomend aluminum bodied shocks, due to the heat involved w/ continous highway use. I'm 50/50 on the subject, because aluminum transfers heat better, making it easier to get out/away. - But some shock companies claim the heat can distort the body of the shock(extended periods of good ole' US highways...) because the shock will take the heat outta the oil faster, putting more heat into the body of the shock...it all depends on who you talk to...

There making those now?

I checked on those awhile ago and they said they didn’t have them.

They were trying to see how many people were interested in them. Before they would put them into production.

If you don’t mind.....What did you end up paying for them?
They wouldn’t give me a price when I spoke to them.

I don't think I paid that much, I'll have to dig out my reciept. I think I got them from Alston's...hummm from what I understood they have/had been in regular production....also, I got struts only(no springs), and they don't look quiet the same as those...

- also remember, these struts weren't designed for auto-cross. They're more built for mild street driving/drag racing. Thats what I was told anyway...
