Struts are made from 7075 solid billet aluminum.
So far I've had mine for quite a few years, but then again my car has been off road for a while but also much, much lighter than the Elephant in the room. LOL
If that car were to shed about 400 Lbs, it would be really nasty, not that it isn't nasty already.
I think I can find at least 200 Lbs in there somewhere without exotica going wild, but it all depends on time, budget and what Itis is willing to painstakingly do. Maybe we can chimmy in and buy him a stage III Max Wedge aluminum front end.LOL.

As well, can't wait to see Haze's 62' Savoy next Spring. It's getting a few feather tricks. Nothing out of the ordinary, but shedding the Winter hairs.
