Just took a look at the struts on my cars. its actually correct for stock ones to be like yours. There is no better position than that, but aftermarket ones have more neg camber and more caster built in.

Been ages since I seen a stock one so I thought it was wrong lol.

That might of explained why my brother's VP handled like shit after rebuilding the suspension as I installed rubber OEM ones and I had been used to driving with urethane aftermarket ones for years.

I would at least go for aftermarket tops too.

yep. i have a set of suspension concepts tower bearings to go in.
i have a dash installed now complete with wiring loom.
i had a spare L1 cluster from an old VN, put that in there, with very mixed results lol. each time i applied the handbrake, the dash lit up. its pretty awesome :|

you havn't got VN cluster switches in there by any chance? They are wired differently to VP and might be the cause of issues if thats the case.

You will have to use VP cluster switches on the VP harness. I've heard electrical fires result from mixing VN/VP switches as some of the functions are on opposite sides.

I know whats wrong with your dash lights though ;) you must have the connectors at the back in the wrong position and/or upside down.
