Raised spindle question

Can the spindles on Koni strut housings be raised? If they can be done who dose it?

Thanks,
jerry

They can only be raised about 15mm, if I recall correctly. This is due to the bulge of the strut tube above the spindle. Blisteins can be further and more easily.

Koni spindles are not usually raised because it takes more work when drilling the rosette weld and possibly shaping the spindle collar around the bulge.

Remember that you will need to lower the steering arm to meet your steering rack level or else get the tie-rod spacer bump steer kit.
