Strut rods and alignment

[C5GTO]

I replaced the standard MII strut rods with these when I built my car.





Two advantages:
- pivot on both ends so less restrictive
- made from aluminum so less unsprung weight

They are adjustable but I've never adjusted them or found the need to. The only downside I've observed is that tire width and inside offset may be limited due to tires hitting the strut rod on a full lock turn. This limitation will exist for any strut rod that runs straight. I do have some rubber marks on my strut rods from tire rubbing but it's not been a real issue in 20+ years of use.

In my opinion, going with something like this is probably good enough. Unless of course, you want to get into a frame alteration type project to eliminate the strut rods. My motto is don't let the pursuit of the perfect be the enemy of the good enough.
