Strut info please
Would someone with some good strut/M030 knowledge care to tell me what's going on here? TIA and I'll elaborate more as info comes in; I have my own opinion but need a little help.

Looks like original M030 threaded collars, with different perches and 2.25" springs.
The mounts for the ABS connector look a little bent-out-of-shape. In fact, the collor seems too darn low (is it being held up by the connector mount?)
What's the deal?

Whoever did that coilover conversion on those struts messed up. You're supposed to leave a little of the perch for the coilover sleeve to fit onto. Here's a picture of the struts beforehand:
When you cut off the perches, you leave a little ledge for the coilover sleeve:
Ground Control makes little rings you can weld onto the strut housings just for this purpose.

We got it worked out. The original owner of the struts contacted me offlist and we worked out a proper arrangement.

Actually HE sold them for someone else and he's the one who contacted me.
BTW, just got off the phone with True Choice, for those interested: to open a shock for inspection/rebuild/revalve etc, is $135 ea. Seals and such are usually $35-$65 ea, a piston, if you need, it is extra.
Did you get your items sold Sam?

Those dampers are missing the shoulder for the adjustment collar to ride on.
Koni NA will rebuild your units for $140 plus parts. I just had mine done and they look like they are brand new.
