Re: Merlin's 4G Time Attack Lude - MeisterR GT1's
Is there a bolt hole in the shock tower? I was just having a look at some of my pics and I could not see the extra holes. TBH I'll probably just press the two extra studs out since I don't really have the time to sort a custom brace or fancy drilling into my shock towersbennyboy wrote:No, you have to 'tap' the bolt out....

When I pulled out the front unit I thought that it looked very short, until I realised that you can set height at both the spring end and the foot of the unit

Since I have only ever used Tein Basics on both of my cars:

TBH, I have the Zeta S so mine may well be different, but I had to remove the extra bolt.
I confess that after a few 'attempts' I actually gave his lordship a ring to check I wasn't being a tw@t.

He confirmed that I was a tw@t.....but that they still needed to come out.

Yeah the two extra studs are a 5th gen thing. Not sure all 5th gens have them, so it might even be a jdm thing.
You wouldn't weaken the tower, you'd be reinforcing it even as you'd then be bolting on a brace foot.
