SOLD TO THE ONLY PERSON WHO READ THE AD CORRECTLY AND HASN'T HAD A CAR FALL ON THEM.

Hi Team.

I have for sale a pair of RA65 struts I put together about 3 months before I took my car off the road. The struts themselves are from the wreckers, but everything else was replaced with new components. Breakdown as follows.

x1pr RA65 Struts fited with:
RA65 Calipers in operating condition
Ferodo sport pads - Only used for a few months (the ones between track and heavy duty) ($60)
DBA Vented rotors - Only used for a few months (Not RDA junk rotors) ($180)
Monroe GT-Gas inserts - Only used for a few months ($140)
New wheel bearings and seals - Only used for a few months (Freebies from slide86, probably about $50)

They're pretty much fucking new struts. The brakes on these things are massive compared to stock KE70 brakes, so they're a good upgrade. The spring rate is also firmer however they will sit high unless you have the springs re-set to a lower freeheight or get aftermarket springs.

HOWEVER: I cannot vouch for the straightness of the struts. The car I got them off from the wrecker may have hit a gutter. It's recommended to go grab yourself some bare RA60 / RA65 struts from your local picky wrecker for 2/3 of $fuckall and put all my nice bits on them.

These are a brilliant upgrade for your stock gear.

Location: Lonsdale, Adelaide. Pickup from inner southern suburbs can be arranged.

Shipping: No. This item is pickup only

Price $150 for the complete assemblies. This shit cost me over $500 to put together incl. struts. GET YOURSELF A FUCKING BARGAIN.

Contact: Via PM on this site.

No pictures. They're struts. No surface rust on rotors. Supplied without strut tops (use your own for your application) Can be supplied with RA65 steering arms if you're nice. This item is sold as-is.

Go.

You need to use RA65 arms.
Your excel-G's will fit.
KE70 strut tops will fit.
AJPS springs to suit RA60 / RA65 will fit.
AJPS springs to suit AE86 / AE71 / KE70 may fit, but not correctly. Consult AJPS.
No I will not take $100 for the setup I spent over $500 on. It's a bargain at twice the price, literally.

Hello friend.

Contact is via PM, as detailed in the 'Contact' field of the 'For sale' advertisement. Please kindly re-read the entire advertisement so that you are fully aware that the item listed as 'for sale' is, in fact, a pair of struts with hubs and brakes, not just a pair of calipers and rotors.

Once this information has been processed, you should then proceed to send me a PM regarding the items for sale you wish to purchase.

Kind Regards,
Javal.
