    Yes get it welded!

    Grub screws are fucking dodgy as, don't ever use them!

    Infact, just buy some real coilovers.

    Just save up...

    Take it to a metal fabricator, who is experienced.

    you can also weld a collar to the strut body, then weld the coilover sleeve to that.

    A. you cant weld alloy to steel b. You cant weld to the shock its inside the strut housing and its full of nitrogen! Pm me for a quote on some proven coilovers cheaper than you think
