I will need to cut the strut down and slip this coil perch over and weld it

[320iAman]

Got it ,weld it on. Then fill with oil or use air pocket for cooling ?

I thought they were welded to the knucle... that way on the perch is much easier, cool.

Technically you are welding to the knuckle, but your using the strut as a guide to make sure its at the correct angle.

Found this image online of a set installed.

pofo, personally i don't care what you do, but if all you want is to impress your friends with shiny then you did good. however, you did say 'track time' and these are not track worthy.

You also miss the part that I said I'll be upgrading to a custom set up when the time comes. But my current factory suspension was cut and I would like it a little higher and the shocks are far past blown. And personal I dont belive that the skinny little 48 mm shock for the coilover from CG is worth 2k shipped. It's was a cheaper temporary alternative and will allow me to invest money in more things I enjoy.

yea its a bitch, but going fast cost money!

building coilovers are not cheap, but for the same money as those bc's you could be running a high quality koni adjustable suspension....... although without the bling.
