our offset strut tops!

and made similar, sharing the following;
- CNC machined
- Lightweight 6061-T6
billet aluminium
- Direct bolt on
replacement for all struts with 2.36'' spacing (90%+ of coil overs)
Offset strut tops allow
for additional adjustment at the top of the strut and allow you to further
adjust camber and castor, at the top as opposed to through the lower control
arm at the bottom.
Depending on your
budget, build quality and levels of adjustment needed we have tailored the
options to suit all setups, which are …
V2 Offset strut tops
These V2 offset strut
tops are the good all-rounder strut top, they offer a good range of adjustment
and do NOT require you to cut your strut top.
These are a two piece
design and are 22mm thick and will space the coilover down this much.
NOTE: Unfortunately,
these DO NOT fit HSD or Tein Super Drift coilovers.
We suggest checking the
dimensions in the product photos to confirm fitment.
NOTE #2: In some cases,
the dampener adjusters that are on top do not allow full range of adjustment.
This depends on your dampener, you could either cut a hole for the dampener or
remove it.
This brings us to the be
all end all of strut top adjustment ...
All the above strut tops
are designed to be fitted to the following vehicles.
Vehicle Compatibility:
- Nissan S13 Silvia

FAQ'S
What’s the purpose of
having an offset strut?
When you run longer
LCA's (lower control arms) over your standard items, there is an increase in
negative camber. Moving the strut top out helps to decrease camber and in doing
so with the wheel sitting further out of the wheel arch, this will allow for more
steering lock.
The other benefit in
these strut tops is that they also have castor adjustment.
Adjusting castor from
the top of the strut is another way of reducing steering bind. Steering bind
brings a significant amount of load to your steering rack, tie rod ends and
your knuckle and sucks to drive with!
Do these jack the car
up?
Yes, they do.
The heights can be seen
above, but also can be seen here;
Budget strut top - 12mm
V2 Offset strut top -
22mm
V3 Premium offset strut
top - 31mm
Once installed you
simply reduce the height of your coilover and it will counteract the height
difference.
Will this fit my car and
if not do you make these for other cars?
We can only confirm
fitment for the vehicles listed above under "vehicle compatibility".
If your car is not
listed there, then we don't know if it will fit and we only sell the products
listed on our website. If it's not listed on here, then we don't sell it.
Are these hard to
install?
No they are not that
bad!
You just need to unbolt
the top of the strut, let the suspension naturally drop. Depending on which
model you choose you will either need to cut the strut top once you have an
idea the range of adjustment.
Our V2 and Premium
version do not require cutting, from there you bolt up the strut top and adjust
until it is close.
You then need to re-set
your vehicle height.
Then best to get a wheel
alignment.
Will I have to get a
wheel alignment after installing these?
Yes, after installing
these offset strut tops, your camber (and castor if you adjust it) will have
altered, which throws almost all the settings in the front out of whack!
So it is best to get a
front wheel alignment.
Is there anything else
needed for installation?
No, we supply all
accessories to fit the tops and they will arrive as shown in the product photo.
