Huh? the cheapest way to go would just look at your local junk yard. a stock one will work just the same.

At the risk of making these more desirable. 1gn brackets work great if you can make endlinks, if you cant I can.

Aren't the rear sway bar brackets, 'part of' the struts ??

You could try getting a set of Daaboots' rear sway bar brackets:

you are gonna need to buy another strut or make an adapter. Many ppl used to make them and sell them but now they are few and far between.

oh you're right. it is part of the strut. yeah so that does suck. I wouldn't go with a new strut would be cheaper just to weld one on.

Or just buy some angle iron and make them yourself. I put a how-to up at some point I'm sure, but that's what I did, and it works just fine.

I would NOT recommend welding to the strut itself..... :shock:
The gas-charged strut assembly could go BOOM.
