[urq] Question regarding suspension interchangeability - bit of a hijack..

[Mike Sylvester]

I was considering using 90q 2 piece struts in my urq.
However, the offset is different, so it gets complicated for axles and
brakes.
And believe it or not, the 2 piece struts are even heaver than the boat
anchors we have.
