Default Compression struts

Does anyone other than Burton sell these...?

Anyone with good or bad experience with these struts?

Compbrake are a bolt on kit, so no welding required

Not from Compbrake - they need to be welded.

Suppose theoretically you could just weld a captive nut onto a plate on the inside and have the outside bit then just bolted on ... but what would be the point in that ?

i got mine from rally design

they let you play with the position of the wheel front and back in the arch as viewed from the side
best way to get fully adjustable suspension though is to go the whole hog and get adjustable tca's and coilovers with adjustable top mounts and a relocated arb

then you can have the wheel wherever you want to put it but it's a lot of grief unless you are going to go on the track all the time
