Hey all, I've come to a fork in the road. I'm currently putting together an air setup and I was wondering if anyone has used an Echo front strut for a universal air strut setup? I heard they are a 1/2" lower due to a lower spring seat but I was wondering if it is too low that it might crush my stock front lip. Any input is greatly appreciated! thanks.

You'll need alot more then 1/2 shorter struts on a UA setup to crush your lip. I am not sure if it would work. But your in no danger of getting that low.

Yeah, my mistake... I know I wont crush my front lip or anything but I was wondering how close it gets with the back all the way up? I was just wondering if anyone has done it and if anyone has pics or anything... thanks again!

I am running Universal Air with Monroe struts for the Echo.
The pics in my sig are before I started running the Monroes so I am a little lower now.
The front lip is close with the back all the way up but it does not touch the ground.
Hope that helps.

No problem & thanks for the compliment.

BTW, I actually have 2 sets of stock struts that are already fabbed for the UA kit.

Let me know if you might be interested.

im with Snicka on this one i have the same setup... that he has in fact he onstalled it... i had cylinders before.. and was way low but had alot of problems snapped my ABS line rubbed my half shaft... so low is a deffenite danger in my book but the new set up is low but alot easier... and much more safe.... and rides nice... GOOD luck and like snicka my pic is in my sig..... thats with the cyilnders
