Default HD Bilsteins and Lowering Collars

Does any one have a picture of the HD Bilsteins and lowering collars installed?

Thanks, Dave

Hi Dave,

If you mean a picture of the car, not the components themselves, there was some discussion of this previously here, and I clipped the following pictures. First shows a car with the lowering perches, the second without. I do not recall who posted these, but be aware that in either case there is a range of adjustment possible.

hope that helps ya!

I have it on good authority that the black car is dropped as far as possible w/the standard HD Bilstein front threads.

Thanks Paul & Dan,
Both cars look great but something between the two would be my goal.
I was hoping someone might have a picture of the strut with the lowering collar installed.

Could someone post the pics of Macca's car once they get them or you could send them to me, I'd be more than happy to do so.

Thanks

Perhaps Viken will repost a pic of the lowering perch he had fabricated. It's disappeared from his post of a couple of years ago:

Dan, Macca, Kelly - thanks so much. It is funny how few "assembled" photos are on line.
Viken, I would be happy with Dan's or Macca's final height but I would appreciate seeing your install pictures, if still available.

TIA, Dave

Thanks so much for the trouble, Viken. It is a good reference point. I also notice that your collars have a set screw to lock them in place - I may add one to mine. Although Mark assurred me they would not move without a locking device..
