When I bought this car 1.5 years ago the rear was sagging. I knew a little less than I know now so I had a shop install new weltmeister 100 lb springs.
Now I'm a bit smarter, have the engine out and am suffering from "might as well do this while it's easy" syndrome. I'm sure these shocks are toast but the spring are new. Question is, how do these spring perches work? I see shocks for sale that are similar to OEM, in other words not super stiff, that don't have the perches. I don't see how mine can be re-used how do they fit on new shocks? I'm looking for an OEM ride. Thanks in advance for your help on what is probably a basic question. Here' a pic of mr current setup.

Larmo & Mblizzard... who sells that coil over kit? Is that the one from AA? Plenty of others besides AA. I googled it and came up with elephant racing. I'd rather buy from chuck at elephant than ....well, you know who . Called AA and even there's comes from another source.... pelican, paragon, patrick motor, and elephant all sell their versions... I have a set of bilsteins with no perch's (lost?) so thought the coil over kit would be the alternative to finally use them...hehe |
