![]() Isn't this already common knowledge here? Like you read the "kyote way" and re wrote it. Appreciate the pictures though, I only read books with pictures on every page. And big letters, little words.

I assume you don't have to shorten the struts to use all the parts listed to make your own coil overs that aren't so low. This just needs a parts list for the rear and you're set. |

http://www.kaplhenke.com/collections...r-spring-perch ![]() These weld rings are conveniently the right size and ready to weld. http://www.kaplhenke.com/collections...ver-weld-rings ![]() This is a rear kit http://www.kaplhenke.com/collections...ng-perch-mount ![]() These strut mounts don't require cutting up your strut towers. http://www.kaplhenke.com/collections...t-strut-mounts ![]() There are better fitting parts for all of what is listed above at similar / better pricing. You dont want to use the slotted upper spring perch, its tall and ill suited for strut use.

![]() Great way to slam a beater. But I can say from doing this several times that the amount of grinding it takes to make the saab inserts fit into the tubes is just not worth the trouble. I dont know if its just the kybs are a little bigger than everything else, but it just sucks. Also, with rates over 300 on stock valved inserts, ride quality is crap. Just my 2 cents

![]() You know if your tubes are straight, the saab inserts drop right in...

What height do you have the coilovers set at in this picture? I'm preparing to build some for my 242, and I'm thinking about passing on the whole shortening thing. I don't need extreme low rider/tucked tire status, I just want some better handling and adjustability

![]() Nice. I'm in the middle of building my own custom struts for my 940 out of a set of fox coil overs. Obviously wayyyyyyyyywayyyyy more expensive but I'm building them lol.
Bunch of different shock parts ![]()

![]() I cut mine as high up as i possibly can, then clean and debur the cut ends. Then i use 2 pieces of angle iron and junk bilstien hd i have laying around to get it straight. Then i have a long carbide bit to debur it on the inside. Never had an issue. With more generic struts the fit isnt as tight inside the housing so you can get away with more and not even realize you welded the tube on crooked
