You have all seen these before, but I just want to post a pic myself. I am very satisfied with the job done on my KYB's. Thanks Dean maybe I will be able to make a trip up there soon.

Everything needed for immediate install was already on the strut. I reused the plate at on the top of the old strut, but that was it. Really dresses up the wheel well.

Since I already have coil-overs made for my car, is it possible to get the top plate and the (red poly) cushion/centering spacer from you? Is that top plate just a new factory-style bearing plate or is it a completely new design? If for sale, what would be the cost of the plate and poly cushion/centering spacer.

Thanks

BTW, I see the difference for the '88 cradle swap was removed......you are now listing '84-'88 without the swap difference.

i assembled and installed mine today...but not sure if i did it right. to top nut and washer sticks up out of the shock tower about 1/4 inch higher then before, throwing the engine vent mounts out of wack. Can you take a blow up pick of the shock showing what order everything gets assembled and what is used from the old setup.

If I ever get the alt bracket I ordered.. I'd like to get a set of these.

Would it be okay if I sent you a new set of Koni's to be modified?

did you use the 2 washers the strut came with? this is the order that we put them together with on the top hat.

washer, bushing, hat, bushing, washer, nut. also included in the kit are extra washers to adjust the hat up or down on the 5/16 bolts.
I hope this helps. we do not include the strut washers because most strut come with new ones already but I have found some do not but you can get them anywhere.

sounds like i assembled them right. The extra washers you are talking about are the small 1/16th of a inch thick washers? There were four on each hat. Thought they went on top of the stock oval washers. But they aren't thick enough anyway. I will have to put some thicker washers on there but was worried that it would focus the weight of the car on three points on the shock tower instead of distributing the weight evenly.

I'm on the fence about ordering a pair, but if the springs were RED, I'd be all over it.

Whats the ETA on when you will recieve the parts? I was looking to go with 350 springs since where I live he roads are pretty much brand new and dont have to worry about too rough of a ride. Does anyone know what the spring rate of the eibach 1" drop rear lowering springs are? cause I would like them a little stiffer than that.

Few question about these coilovers

How much adjustment is there in ride height. How much lower then stock ride height will they go? Would using the 10" springs give better lowering results?

Can you please post up when you've got some more ready to go? I'm in the air still weather to go with Eibachs lowering springs or coilovers. I like the extra space gained with coilovers tho. My 17's rub on the spring perches. Would the Eibachs work with your spring perches and top hats?

Whodeanie HELP ME!!

P.s. Have paypal and I'm not afraid to use it!

I won't speak for Dean, but I am almost positive they are all gone. I was at his shop last week and he has been buried on projects, trying to get cars ready for Daytona.
