I saw these from RSR and they look pretty sweet. Does anyone run these? I have 911 Boge struts with 3.5 spacing now. Do you know if the A caliper will bolt up to these? What weight spring do I need? It'll be on a street/track 6. I'd like it more track than street. Is there something better or cheaper out there?

QUOTE(Chris Hamilton @ Feb 26 2010, 09:30 PM)  They are the cheapest way to get good front struts with a large bearing surface, raised spindles, upside down cartridges and the bilstein valving in the front of your porsche. If you just want raised spindles you can get a set of 911 struts hacked up, but I wouldn't trust them afterwards on a fast car with a lot of grip. That might just be paranoia though, I'm sure they work wonderfully for some people. The cheapest way would be to raise the spindles on the bilstein strut, $295 a pair. Add another $200 and you can decamber them. Then toss in the bilstein cartridge. Get it revalved to your liking. I don't know if you realize this but those RSR struts I pictured have been "hacked up" as you say. Those spindles where raised and gussets welded in. I like coilovers because setup changes are a snap and you can get the corner balance perfect. I ran them on my SCCA Spec Racer. Does no one run coilovers up front?
