Also stock 1600 strut tops are around 12mm thicker than 240K so that will raise the overall suspension height. I think the net difference between 240K struts and stock 11.5" 1600 struts is around 1.75" whereas 200B struts are around 1.5". When I wrote the post quoted by Chris I had a multitude of different struts here and I probably measured them. A 240K with a 2" lowered 1600 spring and 1600 strut top should still just be captive.

So 1600 ones should drop the front down a bit so the 1.5 inch ones should drop it a little further. Later.
