Modern Motorsports Ltd Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 Sure Nate, you just use your OEM spring perch bead welds to support the collars. The easiest install involves leaving OEM perches as they are and putting collars etc above them. You don't have room to lower it to it's max but it's certainly workable and I've seen it done. A few minutes with a bench grinder or cut off tool ($13 at harbour freight) and you can remove most of the lower perch to gain the lower 1.5" or so of adjustment if needed. Any more q's feel free.

Guest scca Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 just take your strut housings up to the nearest muffler shop and they will charge about $30 to torch off all the stock perchs/// Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JAMIE T Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 I removed my stock perch completely, and ground it smooth. Do you guys have a measurement that I could go by to weld a perch for the threaded sleeve? I did this before getting coilover conversion, and did not know to leave the perch bead, sorry.

z ya Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 With 6" collars ground control says 7" from the bottom. This is supposed to give you from stock ride height to 2.5 drop. This is with a 10" spring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nezzie76 Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 Is the a coilover kit out there that doesn't require welding? I need to do the suspension but I don't have the access nor the skills for any welding. Thanks, Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
