my modified struts for one inch ride a lot better then any aftermarket spring for autoride

Tony,
do you sell the modified struts, or the service to do the ones I already have? I'd prefer to buy a set of modified ones. I would only like to drop my front 1" max. It sounds like the modified strut is the way to go for me.

Wait......I missed this.....

The modified strut for a 1 inch drop vs. BellTech Adjustable Strut that you set the "rings" on.......What is the difference?

Tony,
Which one do you feel gives the best ride and handling with a 1" drop? The Belltech adjustables are around $150-$200, and by the time I buy a set of struts, ship them to be modified, modify, and return I would have spent over $100. So... cost wise it's about the same since I'm not close to you.

Okay, so because I am stupid.....I still don't get it.

If both the struts are Valved the same, and ride the same, and one can me modified to be the other.......

Than why bother.

Please post pictures Tony of the difference.

Stock shock is valved different then the belltechs but for 1 inch drop stock struts have been fine on ride as long as they aren;t high mileage.
