also, if it's gonna be a challenge car, it should have been posted somewhere that the general public could have known about it's "just get it outta here" status

Take some c channel and weld a tab to it for the bottom, a plate for the top, threaded rod, and drill on site?

This is going to be harder than you think. The 2g front struts insert a knuckle rather than bolt to it (the pictures you have are from a 1g and a 4g eclipse I think). See below. I can get some "ride height" measurements from my car tonight. The front struts are to the left.

I would just buy cheapy quick struts off amazon. Minimal amount of bullE36 M3, and if you don't run them at the challenge you don't include them in the budget.

Yeah. I have plans for the front suspension that do not involve the stock front struts.

Well then i guess it comes down to whether you want to design one custom front suspension, or two. smiley
