yeah but if the distance is correct, the tower circumfrance might not be a million mile's off, i didnt get a chance to get to my car last night, did any one else? if the distance is correct i will pay £30 to give one a go and see how it works out,
Jap adjustable suspension stuff is all really cheap so if we can utilise it will be good

Well i reckon the distance between each tower would reach being it adjustable e.t.c., you will need to modify the fitment, i reckon just weld it across... the one i have for my car bolts up at the tower top, ill take some pictures later and post it up, its actually off my car!

it would be easy to weld these to the strut tower but atleast the aluminium bar would be removable and adjustable. would look profesional aswell
