I know a thing or two about DIY jobbers like this, in fact, especially this one.
This is my red t5 which I just traded for an n/a 5 speed, but I kept my DIY coilovers/modas/otherstuffs.
I made these coilovers about 7 months ago and they ride just as good as the day I put them on for the first time.
If I would weld right onto the strut body, yes I would ruin the valving of the strut.
However, grinding onto the strut body does not produce enough heat to create a problem.
I realize that everyone on here has cars that have a large amount of aftermarket support, but just because us Volvo guys can get down and dirty doesn't mean that it's the wrong way to do anything.
Sorry for the rant.
