I have purchased a set of GC coilovers that came with S3 strut housings already modded. I have decided to make my own lower perch, and mod my current S2 strut housings. I'm only going this route due to the fact that my front rotors are brand new S2 rotors, and I don't want to purchase new S3 front rotors and bearings.
Besides, a freind of mine has a track car with SE suspension and similar coilovers. If he bends a strut housing, we'll already have spares that are modded.

An added advantage to fabricating a new spring perch, you can set it at the height you want, and have more adjustment room, compared to trimming the coilovers to fit the stock perch.
Hi there

Thanks for the input.

My initial thought was to do exactly that, but I was unable to find someone willing to take the time to weld a new perch.

I dont have the skills to do it
