i know this has been talked about before but heres mine now what are you guys doing with the strut rods on your hardbodys after say 3.5" bodydrops i have some ideas and i already know about arms and building my own lower arm support these are good ideas but has any one kept them and made new mounts that were raised up for the BD if so put up some picts of your work

I moved mine from the bottom of the frame to the back side behind the radiator. There is a pic in my profile.

i didnt do anything with mine. i have a 3.5" bd and i cut the mounts off my core support and lowered them and got a 240sx radiator. by doing it that way, you dont have to move the frame horns down and you can keep your radius arms.

although, i did just order a set of can-do arms which will eliminate them completely because they are (obviously) an A frame design and not just a "stud"

no, sorry i didnt take any pics. it's pretty easy really. the most difficult thing will be getting those mounts from the core support to be dropped directly straight, but thats not even that hard really. the 240sx radiator needs some top mounts made but thats it, the stock hoses and everything fit. you shouldn't have to cut your hood at anywhere at all either.

thanks tony did you just modify your bumper brackets to balance out the drop?
