I made mine. They're set to 9.25" but are adjustable to 12.25".



Spitfire has started making the coolest struts I've ever seen. They actually have a bit of suspension built in.

Here is the thing I run the bitwell's got them from a forum member JPL for a very good price, these don't fit inside the cover over the fender struts without alil grinding. I personally would never pay 80 for struts, I nwould go with the ones on ebay for around 20-30 bucks.
