so back to the drawing board.
beside the strut just limits the tire size too much.

It almost looks like they are similar-ish looking designs that could have tooling adapted to provide the correct mounting point for the strut (yea, I know, thats actually easier and cheaper said than done). I know you basically have things right there in front of you but:
Problem with coil over setups is that the strut towers on thridgens are not meant to carry the load of springs. They require a bit of bracing and such so the metal doesnt tear. I'm sticking with stock style springs in either case, many do.
The steering arm would have to be a major design point. The stock one isnt in the best position.
Anyways, just my humble analysis :shrugs:
