    GC question

    I have done a search, however its a pretty specific question.
    I am planning on buying used coilvers sleeves and springs, the owner ran them with koni and has koni upper perches, i have bilstien sports struts, he was saying that they should work its just a matter of getting different washers to fit the bilstien strut. can anyone varifiy that?

    The bilsteins require a different upper perch assembly.

            Please send me some kind of pic so I can make sure it is actually nice and safe, because that actually shouldn't work.

            GC would LOVE to make just one top hat, but the Bilstein doesn't fit well on the Koni, and the Koni should fit even worse on a Bilstein.

            Here is a not very good pic to show that the Bilstein top perch has a bigger hole in the middle to fit around the step at the top of the Bilstein.

            If this was a Koni perch, it would be sitting crooked on top of the step, instead of going down around it.
