So the struts and spindle is one piece? and if you want to fit coilovers or other dampers you need to hack and weld?

[The Doctor]

jep, this is how the struts originally look:



that sucks donkey balls

I should think the struts are pressed into the spindle, just doesnt make sense to make a complex piece like that from one piece. I would not be very comfortable with just a weld keeping the whole strut connected to the spindle. Heat from welding can have the weirdest effects on material properties.

[Eric]

Same here, but then again, so much ae86 lowered, using coilovers, they al cut and welded the damper and spindle together?

[Ivan141]

99% of the time, coilover perches are either welded to the strut directly, or sat on a new perch that is welded to the strut. The difference to me is the fact that if a perch breaks off, you'll bottom out your suspension, but it will stay together as long as the shock doesnt break. If the whole strut breaks off of the spindle, then your front suspension falls apart.

Kan dat er eens in het nederlands onderaan?

[Ivan141]

V'ruit... Staat dat als die las breekt, en je veerpoot los komt van de naaf, je stukken verder van huis bent dan als alleen een veerschotel/coilover breekt..
