Aww man that sucks :sad: good luck finding one! Oh, and would it be smart to bore out the front forks if I plan on getting coils?

You're just boring it so the forks can fit right? Why would there be a problem? Haha

Boring it so that the strut sits lower. Wouldn't that mean the coilover strut will sit lower too once its installed? I don't see a major problem with it, just that it will be sitting about half an inch lower at the coilovers maximum height setting..

Wait so you're boring, the strut tower? That doesn't make any sense to me.. The top of the strut tower is already a 1/4 inch thin how are you boring it? And even if you were how would it make the coilover sit up higher

My mistake. Didn't really read the whole thing, was completely lost. I wouldn't do that honestly, if the bottom of that strut sits lower I could imagine it hitting the axle. Not for sure but I could definitely see that being low enough to happen. Other than that structurally it seems okay, like you said just it'll sit a little lower.
