coliovers with long studs for the front
Question: what shocks(H&R Street Perf? H&R RSS? Bilstein motorsports?) have front shock studs that are as long as on OEM RS shocks(which are longer than OEM or PSS9/PSS10) so they can be used with RS-like monoball mounts in the front?
Folks who tried using PSS10 with monoball mounts(RS, Mode) have gone to great lengths to make the setup work due to PSS10 shock stud being shorter than original RS shock, but that ends up being a compromise with various problems.

They were previously installed on Bilstein motorsport shocks which have very long threaded shafts compared to the PSS10s which have much shorter ones."
from list https://rennlist.com/forums/993-foru...l#post17392437 that @Bill Verburg provided it seems that RS and Cup got to have longer studs because they are built for RS, is that right? What about H&R green/red/cup/perf-street? And what are the part numbers for these H&R coilovers? Searching the web for H&R coiliovers only brings back "street performance" and "RSS" https://www.ecstuning.com/b-h-and-r-...ion-coilovers/

You may need to call them as such a setup may not be in their general catalog because of the very low number of cars that are in the market to buy them. This is not to say that if you made a written or phone request specifying what variation in geometry you need they wouldn't make up a custom batch of struts for you from parts they have in inventory.
