They are really good to deal with if you order one from Rajabs. I definately notice an increase in torque when it was put on the car with normal injectors & T3. Cheers Kris How do I put up pictures? Also if some one wants the whole car its still available complete. Cheers Kris Quote: Originally Posted by NZ 30ET Order the newer one from Rajab It's hawwwwwwt!

Award winning car all new parts way cheaper than what I paid. Cheers Kris Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

If I take the brakes and adapter plate off with the disc's can i fit and bolt up standard disc and caliper onto thes struts? want to put them into the EH wagon Project. Hey still have your brothers strut insert too must return it to you.

Hey guys NZ VLCT built these for me and he deserves to blow his own whistle as they are top notch and perform amazingly. Cheers Kris Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Cheers In the process of pulling the 20 inch wheels off and brakes at the moment so will contact you in a week or two would look at taking your front struts and cash? if the price is right. Rear suspension will have to stay with me as the factory spring seats are gone and coilover ones welded to chassis and trailing arms. cheers Kris
