    Adjustable rear perches, where to buy?

    What's the lowdown on best quality but best bang for the buck on adjustable rear spring perches???

    I know Vorshlag sells them, theirs look nice. I know GC sells them with their kits but they did not seem to be willing to sell them separately...

    Thoughts and info much appreciated. Looking to buy ASAP.

      I thought GC had them on their site separately? $399 for the kit?

      Am I mistaken? Shoot "Hellabad" a PM, it's Jay from GC.

        Looks like Vorshlag sells the AST for about $130
        Turner sells H&R perches for about $180
        TC Kline has their perches for $130

        Wonder who else there is...

          Does IE not have a rear sleeve? only pads? You could always try generic sleeves..

              IE doesn't sell an adjustable perch for the rear. :(

              FYI guys, I am also looking for springs. Probably 5" but maybe 6" at the most.

                  I might have a set of H+R perches laying around that have never been used. I will check.

                    Matt, I have some 5" springs lying around. I was going to use them to tune the suspension but meh, just sitting right now.

                      I'm thinking 5" is what I need. 6" would just be too tall with an adjuster.

                      PM me details.

                          I definitely recommend a 5in spring. My adjuster is almost bottomed out on my turbo car with a 5in. 6in if you don't want an adjuster would be perfect.

                          That's with an early arch too BTW..

                            yeah, go with 5". I have 6" and it only works because I have an ix. Although I'd still rather have 5", since I'm at the bottom of the perch and there's no room for corner weighting.

                              Bump, looking for last minute advice before I buy adjusters later this week.
