Default Coil-Sleeves

Where can I find some coil sleeves? not the springs with coil sleeves, just coil sleeves.

I'm currently on Nismo T2 springs and TC Klines shocks, I could use a bit more height on front and drop on rear.

I know the rear is probably still unable to adjust due to separation with spring bucket and shocks. I'm still waiting for SPL parts spring bucket prototype which allows height adjustability in the rear springs.

But for now, I need something in the front...

You have two choices, since the TcKline shock is a custom Koni product made for TcKline.

One, pull the front shocks and send they to Truechoice in Ohio http://www.truechoicekoniracingservi...s/services.htm and have them cut a new spring clip groove 1/2" higher then the one your currently using. This is a relatively inexpensive thing to have done.

Two, would involve abandoning the T2 Nismo front springs and purchasing 2 Eibach E.R.S 65mm ID 8" long 625lbs springs for use with 2 Koni sleeve coilover parts (Kon30..0000.0005 and Kon30..0000.0006 2each) For the upper mount you could purchase some additional Koni parts and continue to use the oem upper shocks mounts or you could Contact K-sport and purchase one of their upper pillowball mounts ment for their coilover kits. Certainly, option one is by far the most cost effective.

This is Koni' sleeve coilover part and what it looks like.

And how it sits on the shock
