    hey guys this is probably gonna sound bogan style what im about to ask but here goes

    i got a te71 but the front strut setup is whack (same setup as t18 series 1)
    so 2 bolts are identical to aexx's but one is different
    i wana by camber tops soon so what i was thinking was redrilling the one hole and bog up the other one so i can use aexx's suspension setup

    has anyone tried this or got any suggestions

    cheers

    Bog wouldn't be structurally strong enough, i would say you would have to weld as a minimum.

    I would have thought the strut top holes would be the same, but thats just at a quick guess.

    just drill it

    buy an 86 strut brace, it will cover the old hole :lol:

    no point buying an AE86 strut brace, cause then you'll have to drill that out as well in order to disguise the drilled out strut tower,

    and thus, not disguising anything :2thumbs:

    no, If you get AE86 camber tops, drill out the hole in your strut tower, then fit an AE86 Strut brace.. it will cover the original hole.
