I wish I'd have bought adjustable strut rods.
I probably will in a couple of years.

Hotchkis...after doing some research, they seemed to be the ones that were adjustable, and chrome-moly steel.
My originals were bent near the threaded tip sections.
I have not put many miles on them, so time will tell.

In this case, the wt. isn't the gain it's the hiem ends allow faster transfer......

That's what I'm after.faster weight transfer and better front end travel. ANY quality Alum rod with heims will do the same thing.. and IF you want to work over your stock ones with heims it will do the same thing but be a little heavier.. I put heims on my stock rods on my Valiant years ago
