Can anyone tell me what struts will fit an 81 reliant, it has 2 bolt top strut mounts. Does anyone know if these are the same as an l body struts? I am guessing the l body struts are shorter, but is the top bolt pattern the same? Also does anyone know what rear springs are the same, and possibly shorter ones. I have and 89 daytona k member that I dont know if it will bolt in, does anyone know. This car has the usual K car saggin ass and lean goin on, I want to get it sittin low and level so I can get wheels on it. Any information will be appreciated.

I was at the junkyard and saw an early Lebaron with the same 2 bolt strut mount. It looked as if it was welded in and not formed like the rest of the strut tower was. I assume that as it uses the same mounting pattern that it is, infact the same strut. I could be wrong, but I wouldn't be surprised. Maybe go to the Parts Store and check the part number of L-body struts and the early K car ones....

Hope this may help, TheCanadian
