Default Koni conversion write up needed

The search function seems to be down so I am posting a new topic.

Can someone post or send me the write-up (with pictures) Paragon-Products put together on converting the sealed strut housing on the 951 to accept a Koni drop in? The link on their site is no longer pointing to it.

Thanks,
Steve

Your's didn't come with instructions?

Drill a pilot hole in the exact center of the bottom of the old housing, then a larger hole after you drain all the old fluid out. Not sure off hand what the exact measurements are for cutting the housings, but I bought a tube/pipe cutter from Harbor Freight and it made it quick and painless. Slide the insert into the housing (will take some force), bolt the new housing in with the supplied hardware and stick 'em back on the car.

Bingo! Thank you.

I have not ordered them yet. I just wanted to do some home work before I did.

Just wondering -- where're you planning on getting them from?

Does Paragon have the best pricing?

Can I just swap my 85.5 setup onto my turbo. Meaning I have the inserts from the 85.5. Will the whole assembly with the srings and inserts already on slide into place of the turbo without any further mods.
