strut housing shortening question

[dmjensen]

I'm thinking of buying the shorty billy sports for the G60 and geting groundcontrol coilover conversion, how much would i want to shorten the strut housing?

Precisely 88.8mm. :shifty

what waffleswaffleswaffles's everyone mean by spacers with the shock, i've read it a few times and i haven't figured it out yet..

[Teaguer]

Put a spacer, usually a cut length of pipe, inside the housing then install the insert so it sits on top of the spacer.

Oh and its NOT 88.8mm. ;)

88.8mm= approx. 3.5 inches??? Those are shorties!!!

thanks, i think i'll just cut off an inch at a time cause it's easier to take more off then put it back on haha
