i assume that the carrera/qa1 shocks some of you are using are designed to drop into a bilstein front strut housing, or are mods neccessary to make them work?

I think they can be purchased for multiple different strut housings..

my front housings happen to be sectioned koni's (where the strut is cut and the middle is removed to create a body drop). My carrera's are ordered to length to accomodate this body drop...

but I'm certain they can be ordered for other brand of struts and bilsteins also.

the shock bodies are aluminum too.... for weight...
speaking of which, please tell me how on earth you get a METAL car to 1600 with a -6?

I'm still calling you out on that one.
