    Here are a few benefits to my kit versus the cosmos kits
    -Choice of spring rates
    -nylon tip setscrews that will not mar up your adjusters
    -Finer threaded adjusters that won't clog up with dirt as easily as others

    I have messed with a cosmos setup, and when you tighten down the setscrews, the screw digs into the sleeve causes an indention in the sleeve, which will make it hard to adjust the height when the screw is removed.
    Plus the cosmos adjusters tend to get dirt built up in between the threads that has to be blown out with compressed air to be able to make adjustments.

            So you are using your existing strut. The kit is solely the perches and springs for the front?

              Sounds like it. You will still need to purchase new shocks. That brings up a good point. What shocks do you use with these? They have to be adjustable right? To account for the changing height.

                They don't need to be adjustable, but not stock. for example bilstien sports. a non adjustable shock does not allow for suspension tuning like an adjustable shock would, like an adjustable koni.

                  Hey there, i couldnt get a hold of you over PMs, but i figured you might see it here. I would like you to refund the money for the coilovers i purchased from you. The sleeves dont fit over the strut tube, there is no spring hat included to make these fit, it took 2 months for these to arrive, and the sleeves look as if they were cut with a hack saw.


                  If you could refund my paypal, that would awesome, and ill be happy to pay to ship the coilover stuff back.

                          Hey i haven't been able to respond to pm's as i've been at work. First off there are no spring hats out there that will work with stock strut bearings, you have to get camber plates that come with spring hats to fit 2.5" coilover springs, which is why they are not included in the kit. Second you need to clarify when you say they won't fit over the strut tube or not, nothing is going to be able to go over the retaining nut for the shock absorber and still fit the strut tube, which is what you are referring to being not able to go over. You may want to relook up how to install coilovers, you have to remove the shock insert, cut the stock spring perch off, slide the new coilover sleeve on, and then reinstall the strut insert.

                          Also the delay was from your spring choice, as we had discussed in Pm's the original spring rate you wanted was not available, so i had to find another supplier to order the springs from and get them in.

                                That cut is pretty gnarly, although it shouldn't affect the setup at all. Whats the other side of the adjuster look like? If its flat, then you're still good.
