    the t3 strut tube spacer allows you to run a shorter shock without the need of shortening the strut case, its just a really long gland nut

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (drftr86 @ Jul 14 2008, 10:50 AM) </div>yeah but if you are making coilovers and cutting and welding you may as well just shorten the strut the required amount to suit the shock. means you can lower the car without affecting the stroke of the shocks and remain full captivity of the springs.

    those T3 gland nuts are more suited to those running short shocks in stock struts with conventional springs.

    as all others have mentioned good write up, shows its not all that hard as long as you can weld/know a welder :lol:
