Blown Struts
Hey,

Looking for blown struts in relatively good condition (i.e. no major rusting). No preference if the strut comes with the top hats or springs. Also, not looking to spend too much money on them as I will be cutting them up, pm/post a shipped price that you may have in mind and we can go from there.

Thanks

Nice, that's good to know. I was planning on using a pipe cutter but I may lean towards using a sawzall like you suggested, thanks for the heads up. Also, do you remember what measurement you went with when cutting the strut?

I found my old struts, they even still have my old Eibachs on em. they do have a bit of rusting (my balt was a Wisconsin car). I'll try to get some pics up.

Like I said, they do have rusting but it looks like surface. Some sanding and paint should make em look alright.

FE1's also work. It's a simple project just cut above where you need to.
