Adustable strut tops + lift kit?

Hey guys,

I've just been wondering about how i can improve the alignment on my L series and i've been considering adjustable strut tops. I'm not aware of any other way to improve adjust camber/caster. Can you fit them to a car with a lift kit though?

Simple answer: - Yes

I am running Nolathane adjustable strut tips in my 'L' series wagon with 4" strut tops. They work very very well.

BUT be prepared for a $150+ wheel alignment as they are an absolute prick to setup & adjust as the complete strut has to come back out to tighten the tops back up......

Thanks for the response. I can do wheel alignments so I'm not too concerned about price. Sounds like a big effort though. How do the nolathane tops hold the alignment? Especially if you're going off road.

Awesome just checked out the link in your sig, might be shopping there soon.

I have had no problems with them not keeping there setting. When there tight down they do not move.

Xtreme Rx I gather that for some reason the strut tops cannot be tightened with the strut in situ .
If I was to use these Nolathane L/Impreza adjustable tops with small 60 or 64mm ID springs and platforms is it then possible to get at the fasteners ?

Cheers A .

Yes I can get more if people want... The price will be more…

No the tops can be tightened in a standard situation. The setup is a full floating pillow ball. The adjustment is through the 3 bolt mounting system.

Check out this post for pictuers -> showthread.php?t=5120

When you fit a strut lift block, the adjustable top is fitted in to the lift block & then bolts in to the car. Not allowing you to reach the rear bolt on the adjustable strut top.
