Front Strut assembled.

I will need to build a shim for the coilover sleeve. The sleeve is ~ 1/8" larger diameter than the outer housing.

Obviously, the OEM Springs seats will be chopped off as well. I hope to have the housings painted or powdercoated soon, so all struts were disassembled.

One other note is that the RACE inserts come with 2 top nuts and a shaft/camberplate shim, where as the SPORT inserts do not. The SPORT inserts come with only 1 thick top nut, that may be too thick for use with a camber plate.

Final: Good news: The rears assemble with no fuss.
Ok news: The fronts need very basic fab work to be feasible.
