It depends on why your doing this , if your coilovers are rubber bushed road car ones then it wont make a bit of difference to your strut tops . If your using proper coilover units for racing then of course your strut tops will be triangulated to the cage to stop flex and deflection in the shell .
If you want me to sort these for you then let me know ,
