2WD non-adjustable front Struts vs 4WD adjustable height for EA81's?

Featured Replies

Ok, tried a search but couldn't come up with anything. Just wondering if anyone knew the height difference between the 2WD front shockers and 4WD front Shockers on EA81 cars..?

 

Thanks

Carfreak85 changed out just the struts to 2wd and lowered his car .5 inches about. I thought it had to do with the springs but my car is still in the sky in the front.

I'm thinking your right about the springs. My front is very soft, and from looking at pictures its sitting about 30 to 40mm lower then a wound up 4WD strut.

What I'm wanting to do is cut the fenders so I can drive it with the 27"s on but when I put taller 4wd shocks and springs in the fenders aren't higher then the rear (higher as in more gap between the top of the tyre and the top of the arch in the fender).

Atm I have almost an inch gap, but when I sit in it it touches :(
