    This is great innovation! I own a 2g, 83 sedan and Im struggling to figure a way out to drop the baby. I do not want to chop up these springs. Hazwan or anyone, could you reccomend to me any alternatives to lowering my 83? Are there any other coilovers from other vehicles that would match up correctly, with limited modifications,aka no welding..Thanks man ride looks fantastic!

    I'm not familiar with 2g suspension design but I am pretty sure that they are similar to the 1g? Anyway I've looked around and it appears that most MacPherson coilovers have similar size to ours, try to find something like mine where the height is adjustable instead of just the lower spring perch so you can get them off and machine the bottom part to fit like what I did to mine (Y)

    So tempting.
    2g top mounting has different top bolt pattern, bigger diameter spring winding & springs mounted on an angle on their struts but none of that should affect things too much.
    Still wondering about swapping original or adjustable top mountings on struts, and mk 1 or 2 VW Golf struts - coilovers. Especially for 1st Preludes with their VW inspired top mountings.
