What sort of car, what sort of strut, and what do you want it to do?

Someone ( ) did mine recently to fit an RT132 strut and brake assembly to my KE70 (where the existing diameter spring wouldn't fit inside the tower). While looking for a workshop to do the work I was advised that the machine work should cost around $100-$150 per strut.

IIRC the article missed some key points and was fairly useless, much like the rest of Fast Fours is

sorry everyone,
its an ae86 bigport 4age, setting it up for drift/street, looking to put 7kg front, 5kg rear with short stroke shocks all round. I have a set of KYB short stroke shocks in hand and tein camber tops. So i'm just looking for someone local to supply the conversion kit, cut down my struts, and weld the thread and collar on. I would do it myself but i dont have the facilities
sorry bout the previous lack of info
thanks in advance
Craig
