Hi Jermaine:

Sounds like you have been trapped in the Robart Black Hole. I use Bob Walker's stuff almost exclusively. He comes with his warbird stuff to our fly-ins, but at times, his customer service drives me up the wall. Kevin and Ben's postings are right on. You can, and I have, cut struts to whatever length you want. Only consideration is keeping the spring tension right. What I do is measure the tension simply by pressing the strut down on a scale, and recording tension. Then after cutting the strut, cut off just enough spring to match the tension. I am not familiar with Robart Struts for the Starfire. I have JMP MK10's on mine. The only thing to consider regarding how short you can make them, is to be sure the tire clears the air cylinder when it retracts.
Shortening the nose gear is a bit more of a problem, since you have to remove and reposition the swivel tube and the pull-pull arms. With all your car work on the Lambo, see if you can hook up with someone to do light spot welding and machining.
