I'll post pics of mine for an example for ya Nigel.

My early model as it sits with the GE setup.

Front - 5" springs w/sleeves flipped 1/2" of adjustment to go, IE race camber plates, Billy sports.

Rear standard GE rear coils, no adjusters, Billy Sports.

Was originally running 6" fronts with sleeves flipped. Will eventually go back to them when I shorten my housings.

Lets see some pics

If your referring to the AGX inserts they have a pretty large oval. I do have some spares available.

Its in regards to the ovular opening. Its common for twin tube inserts to have that shape instead of the big round design Bilstein uses. It will be changed on the next run.

any chance for a tophat that fits the kyb struts? I messed up my last set trying to modify what looked to be an easy fix

with that said - what's the cost for new top hats (assuming you have components laying around)

That's what my set looked like out of the box. what there suppose to be a bushing?

[PNWDan]

Just a heads up, PM me when you see it.

Looks to me like something was binding and the bushing walked out?

Yes. But it inhibits the maximum drop and ease of use. Reelizmpro is using a set on his white car uncut. If your worried about max low then using a 4" spring may be a viable option which would include a 400, 450, and 500 # options.

can I use these without cutting the struts, I have e30m3 struts that I don't want to cut.

Added some more install pics and tips and also attached them to the first post.

PMed! I've been wanting a set of these :D

Paypal ready

is there a reason this kit doesn't come with the rubber o-rings to put inbetween the strut housing and sleeve? I was thinking jb weld also, but what if the threads gets messed up and i need to replace the threaded part, that wont be fun.

There is not enough space between the sleeve and the strut tube to use an o-ring. You can use a strip or two of masking tape running parallel to the length axis of the tube. Spray the inside of the sleeve with pledge or soapy water cause it is often hard to slide it on with out tearing the tape.

Have an e36 m fitment?

I don't have an e36 to do R&D on. I made 1 kit last year and did not receive any feedback and have heard through the grape vine that he replaced his setup with some ASTs.

Nice might grab some here shortly.
