    Does anyone know how to strengthen the strut rod mount while still fitting the radiator. My mount is right where my coolant hose needs to be.

    If you run tubular control arms & dropped front spindles you will get rid of the struts. This is the better way to do this !:cool:

    I've got drop spindles. No $$ for tubulars. I already bought some tubulars but the guy never sent them to me so I'm doing what I can with what I got. I figure plenty of people are on stock arms.

    The stock arms can be modified to work well!
