I have seen a weld up job somewhere, Im pretty sure it was for a race galant tho.

The STD galant struts also have the removable caliper bracket so it can be changed to suit any set up you want to use. There also 1kg lighter than the Sigma struts. But any sigma strut with the 3 bolt patturn on the knuckle the same as the galant will bolt in, Might have to swap the strut tops from ...

Re: gh struts on UNBOOSTED galant
Cheaterparts runs his race Sigma unboosted, I cant remember his setup.
I prefer the feel of unboosted, but dont run a boosted master cyl without a booster.
I ran sigma struts in my galant unboosted and had no probs.
