    Try them out for all of man kind, then comeback with a review. ;)

        cant really find a place that just sells adjusters, And no one says what the ID is so its a pain. needs to be square cut threads, lock plate style, for 2.5ID springs and about 5in long or longer. (51mm ID is obvious)

              hmm. id think they would rot eventually. do they not make them a tight fit just because vibrations would beat the sleeves up etc...?

                I think they do it if you ever need to remove them for whatever reason.
                Maybe replace a screwed sleeve thread, Idk.

                Bare metal would probably fuse together from rust or some weird alchemy shit over time.

                I used a round of electrical tape in mine. I wish I thought of the o-ring beforehand since that's much nicer, not that it matters.

                Comso coilovers sell their kit for $200. Keep adjusters and sell springs to a kid maybe?
