Here's the specific link to the kit. Will be cheaper though as you dont need the springs.

here you go...just make sure you get the right ID, they have 2 different sizes for the Koni's and other shocks...there are also different lengths of the threaded tube.

Coleman Racing coil-over kit..one of many

I think the coleman kit is a little big for the yellow konis. I remember buying those and they had a little side to side movement. I went with the paragon kit as it was a perfect fit.
I have a kit around here if someone is interested.

My car has the paragon kit.
After digging through my parts I found I have two coleman kits
Dont know if they will fit Bilsteins.
They are 5 inches in length and id is 2.04
The other is 7 inches in length and id is 2.04
I have the othe misc pieces too just not sure if I have all of them.
If someone is interested PM or email me.

Another thing I didnt like about the coleman kit, besides the side to side fitting, was the metal ring you put on the shock didnt quite seat into the Koni shock. I used the original Konis clips with the paragon kit. THe ring is want holds the perch.
The two rings were opposites. Koni's was flat ring and the coleman kit was round. I suppose you could make the coleman ring work but I really dont want to mess around with a part that costs a couple of bucks and could cause more then a couple bucks worth of damage.
What would happen if one of the perches gave out at high speed. Not something I want to find out.

If you want to try one of my coleman kits you can. If its works out for you you can have it for the cost of shipping . If not send it back and I will just ebay it.
