It is $77/pair for the threaded collars, $77/pair for the upper spring plate, and $27.50 for a pair of spanners. Not so cheap but still pretty good. Yeah, like I said in my original message "The sleeves (blue) with collars (gold) cost $77 a pair - not each, a pair. I don't have a price on the hats but ring Fulcrum and ask them." $77 is for a pair of sleeves and collars. Not the hats, not the spanners, not springs, not fitting, etc, etc. For all who have asked, yes the sleeves are anodised ali. There's plenty of meat on them (about 4mm thick in the threaded area) so I think they're up to the job. I suspect if you were adjusting them a lot the threads might start to gall but, really, once they're set up, how often do you adjust them? Total adjustment range is 85mm. Yes, they will need a support ring welded to the strut to sit on. Also, the sleeves may need a light cut up the inside (50mm dia) to fit over your strut tubes - that will depend on the diameter of your struts. A six-pack to a friendly fitter/turner should see that done - every car modifier should know at least one tame fitter/turner . The Fulcrum hats aren't particularly remarkable (particularly if they really are $77/pr) and I didn't buy any for my application (although what I'm doing is a fair way out of the ordinary anyway ). The hats are cast ali, supplied completely unmachined i.e. not even drilled for the strut shaft. I would get the aforementioned friendly machinist to turn some up for me. Fulcrum are Brisbane based and their web site is http://www.fulcrumsuspensions.com.au Hope this info is helpful, Dominic [Report message to a moderator]
