i only ask because a big brake upgrade is iminent i already have the 240k
front end on mine - so basically i wanna know is this a decent front strut
and is it worth staying with it or going to another strut - and whatis the
best rotor caliper upgrade that will fit on my struts or 200b struts??
thanx
