ok why would the alloy ones be preferred over the steel sleeve kit and please don't say it is a weight issue

Yeah exactly, why would use alloy? its just more work.

I have steel ones and was all too easy to slide them on and weld.

Alloy can be anodised all sorts of colours, therefore look more swanky.

I can easily organise a set of steel rings for those with the alloy ones, I'd just need to ID of the struts that people require them for, as well as an indication of what people would pay ?

From the correspondence above, it seems that the best alloy setup is the sleeves + spanners from Fulcrum, top hats from T3, and custom steel rings, and for the steel setup would be from Cartorque (for the Adelaide people).

Probably they (cartorque) can sell it for less due to their commercial agreement with Fulcrum, and it depends on their markup.

Another option to replace the steel ring for the alloy sleeves was to use the "U" part of an exhaust U Band clamp (slightly dodgy and not the prettiest, but it works).

If I were to start organising something like this, who would be interesetd in what option ? Please state alloy or steel and where you are located, and of course qty.

If sufficient replies were rec'd, I'd approach the board for permission, and then take it from there

Cheers

I don't care whether it's alloy or steel... whatever kit ends up being the best kit at the best price, factoring in the extra $$ needed for the rings for the alloy kits. Most people probably feel the same. I seem to remember being told that alum sleeves, if anodised, have tougher threads. Another thing to consider is the ring - if a long sleeve, would probably need to be a d-shape to clear wheels etc (unless of course the ring isn't very thick).

I was going to buy my set from the states, an alum sleeve kit like the ground control ones which is decent civic kit that only needs the top had drilling out a little wider. Same strut ID as our cars - 2".
