The Australian way

[juse]

Could Steve Carter or other australians give me some advice on shortening superbeetles struts. I have this impression that this is a typical job in Australia.
I read Carters Struts & Stuff where he mentioned this conversion and I`ve been thinking that alternative ever since.
How much is the stut shortened and from which end?
Can you use the original inserts with them or maybe Golf`s instead?
Hope someone from down under reads this.
