Those won't work on a Beretta, or Corsica. 3rd gen Cavaliers do not have the steering arm on the strut body. Theoretically, you could disassemble those, cut apart an old set of struts to steal the arms, and then weld them onto those struts when they are tore down to a bare body.

It's not a bad idea really, if you can do it. I'd imagine the upper mount will need to be replaced with an Lbody unit, or you could redrill the strut tower of the Beretta for the mount pattern on those coilovers.

That is Tim of Mantapart. He has been clearing his shed out.

That is the setup that RedBraGTZ has on his car. Those are A body Disc that were on the FWD STE.

Indeed it is Tim, he and I have been having some phone conversations. He seems pretty legit these days, and I've told him I'll only buy stuff it comes via eBay listing.

I've got him digging out some crap for me.
