I'm not trying to turn this into a pissing match. Just posting correct information. I have more road and real track experience with the Pro Kit and other suspension types with many cars than the average person posting up what they THINK is right.

You also might want to contact Wikipedia your correct definition of the term "strut" as well.

"An automotive suspension strut combines the primary function of a shock absorber (as a damper), with the ability to support sideways loads not along its axis of compression, somewhat similar to a sliding pillar suspension, thus eliminating the need for an upper suspension arm. This means that a strut must have a more rugged design, with mounting points near its middle for attachment of such loads."
