There was a chap selling a converted AE86 standard strut so that is possible too.

Would there be a distinct advantage of using the front struts from GRP4 against modifying a standard strut? I would ideally like to try and cut as even as possible between selling up the CS2s and getting the new setup.

Looking through the Irish forums, there are several different opinions surrounding other suspension setups. Some people think that putting in lower rated springs would be fine and others seem content with using the standard strut/spring combo.

What seems to be the general consensus though, is that the Bilstein shocks are a very good option for damping, which has led me to looking at the B6 range for a lowered option. As for springs, many people have bought and seem to be happy with the 50mm cobra lowering springs, but I'm due to message Seamie at Premier Performance to find out more about them.

From there it would be a case of tracking down standard front struts, camber plates and RCAs, since I would be better off selling them all as a package with the CS2s. If anyone is interested in trading up or having them off me, then drop me a message.
