The VR struts shown could be easily mounted to the MA61 ball joint from what I see in the two diagrams. This is for those wanting to use shorter springs to lower thier cars.

A one inch thick oval adapter block is fabricated to fit on the MA61 ball joint. Two holes are drilled and threaded so it can be bolted to the ball joint just as the stock MA61 strut does. A large countersunk hole is drilled in the center of the block so the appropriate bolt will bolt to the VR strut.

1. Bolt the block to the VR strut.
2. Bolt the block and strut to the MA61 ball joint.

The added bonus to this is the block serves to keep the wheel camber stock even though the strut is shorter when using a one inch shorter spring. The overall distance from the top of the ball joint to the top of the strut stays the same, but the wheel spindle is one inch higher that the ball joint, keeping the car one inch lower than stock.
