Has anyone used these on a CSM? Will they even fit? They were on a vr4 previously.

Fronts just bolt in. Rears will take some work since the lower mount is different.

I don't know if you'll want to use EVO struts. I think they'll give you massive 4x4 ride height, and since they are a taller strut, you will have reduced travel if you try to lower it, thus ruining your ride quality.

Sweet. I'll slap the lowering springs I'm running now on them and see how it goes.

Yes they work, they are a bit stiff with the stock springs though. I had to cut one coil off of the fronts to get it close to stock ride height. The rears were some work. I tried welding some bushings on the ears, but the welds broke. So I took the ears and bent them around the bushings and drilled holes on the top and bottom, just barely notching the bushings, and put some grade 8 bolts through and clamped them in. fits great, clears the tires and had held up extremely well up here with our crap roads. Its deff a ”sport” ride though. The wife can't ride too long in the car cause her fun bags start to hurt from the bouncing ! ;-)
