Pics of the perches for GC.

[Groove_D]

Can you guys post pics of the perches on your strut housings with the GC coilovers please. And if anyone has a pic of the stock perch and GC coilover it would be great.
Thanks in advance.

I can take a pic of what i did to my old "perches" if you like. I basically cut off the stock perch leaving just a little bit left for the sleeve to sit it. I could get really low no problem since i was like only 3 threads away from the bottom of the sleeve before i couldn't go any lower.

Easiest way is to do it like this, grind off the perches and LEAVE THE WELD I used a 4" angle grinder to do all of this, it works quick and easy. Grind the perch, hit it with a hammer etc. to get it off. Then clean up the top of the weld and cut your adjusters to fit, no welding required. I didn't do it like this, but it would be easy if you didn't want to shorten the housings.






IMO if you didn't grind off the perch it would suck to adjust the height.

you can cut a lot lower then i did but i was stupid and thought that was low enough hahaha ...you can probably get another half inch on what i cut

Thanks for the responses.
Yea i figured you could cut all the way to the weld. Just not sure if it is save enough to leave the sleeve sitting on the weld itself. Maybe leave a little bit extra from the stock perch.
