    They utilize FM technology, fm = fucking magic for those who don't know.

      I like the color powder coat. Though after some racing they dont look to clean. So I wonder how blue would look dirty?
      Oh mine are not GC sorry.

        Set screw in the adjustable collar compresses into the housing.

        Much better than the dual-locking ring bullshit.

          Why, so you can have pretty painted struts? ;)

          You can always piece your own together if you have a welder--get blown struts, remove inserts and modify, get GC coilover kit and install, get camber plates, get shortened konis. My coilovers cost me about $1200 everything said and done, including new front wheel bearings, although I did get a good deal on the strut housings and konis as a package.

                        Geez you guys are lame.

                        I'm thinking of having struts/subframes/trailing arms everything done in Lime Green or Pink or something, just for the hell of it.

                        Why not? It's only a car.
