cutting OEM struts is neither dodgy or ineffective so long its done right.
i am currently in the process of Modifying my RA40 struts that are in my ae86. They already have had the spring platform cut off and a coil over sleve put in, whoever did it put 400 pound springs in which are also fairly high, with a RA40 monroe *shudders* gas shock rated too 100 pounds.
in other words... the spring is killing the shit shock.
So, i plan to take the RA40 shocks out and fit a AE92 shock which is some 60 something mm shorter. that would mean cutting 60 mm out of the strut tube, lining it back up and then rewelding it with a seleve, done correctly it will be stronger then an OEM strut.
HOWEVER, i have a few probs so far and wheel offset clearance is one fo them. I will have to fit RA60/MA61 (are they the same?) front hubs, disk and calipers which will give me an axtra 7mm offset, then a spacer.
505's weigh a good 1350 kgs i believe, they have excellent rebound rates!
i'll see if i can find the specs for you tho!
