Front struts

Post by Mel_star_1 »

We just got some coilovers 2nd hand, they are marked as FTO coilovers however 1 of the 3 top bolts do not line up on the the car there fore will not fit:(.

my question, have the front strut bolt positions changed from model to model ?

only other explanation is possibly these are FTO coilovers but the camber tops have been modified for a different car.

so yeah any help is appreciated :)

You rotated the tops to see if it fits in 1 of the 3 possible locations? :wink:

All models have the same strut tops (holes are in the same place). Sorry to say that they are either non FTO or modified.
