          .........You're not going to get that small of a spring on your front strut tube.........you need a minimum of a 51mm sleeve (2" roughly) which leaves a 1/4" split between both sides. after the thickness of your sleeve and the shelf wall of your adjuster it won't fit. The only one I know of that's smaller is M struts and I can't remember what the diameter is (something like 47mm) but it still wouldn't work.
