    Front Strut Housing Shortening Service

    I tried contacting a moderator to see if I am allowed to do this and haven't received a response for two weeks, so I'm going to post it anyways and if it's not okay than I will take it down immediately.

    If you don't have the time or tools to shorten your strut housings for your coilover build, I can provide the service.

    Ship me your disassembled strut housings with your desired shortened length and I will get them back to you within a few days.

    I recently filmed my shortening process when I built my GC kit for my old e30, and will follow the same guidelines, the video can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q7xUSNRyLI

    As far as price, I would like $125 for the service, and you are in charge of shipping both ways. I am located in CA, zip is 93405. If I get enough interest and actually do this a few times I will have a better idea of a flat price with shipping and everything included.

    PM me with your plans and we can talk details as each setup will be specific to what kit you are running, if you already have the coilover kit or not, and how much you would like them shortened by. You can also text me at (805)710-3143

      Great video. I showed it to my local metal shop when I had mine shortened and it helped him out.

      If I needed mine done I would def send them to you. Goodluck!

          Worth every penny IMO. I just shortened mine in spare time I had at work and its much more a PITA than it looks. Great service to offer!

                            I could probably knock it out in a few hours
