I have a Nissan Altima , I need eto shortern my struts, well I want to have a strut inser that's 10" to 11" and the rod travel length prbably 4 to 5" so total about 16" max and install to my stock housing, I have custom spring on the car so I prefer Koni and something that's adjustable , I was look in to the 8611 series from Koni but I want to have more option to choose from, or I was thinking to buy the S13/S14 Front strut and modify it, I know the housing can be adjustble but I can lower the housing at all because my axle is in the way?what other company make insert like koni and have wide range adjustability? on rebound and bound? and Bilstein? by the way how long is the actual length of the S13 strut housing from a Tein Coilover, are the strut housing shorter than stock?

thanx in advance

yellows and other low end dampers and coilovers wont have 2 way adjustability

if you want 2 way plan on spending quite a bit on a set of koni's or something similar...if you can live with single adjustment yellows you can get yellows in custom lengths fairly easily
