Joe, Those pictures were exactly what I was looking for. That's a no brainer install job. thanks.

I also like Vaughan's idea of turning down the excess metal. I've got access to a large lathe so once I get my coil overs in hand, I may buzz off some of the exterior ring for a cleaner install.(Not that I think it would save much weight, but it's def a low cost to do item)

It also secures the base much better; you'll see what I mean when you've got 'em apart. Most sleeves have a small step or something similar in the bottom; in fact, with the lathe you can easily turn a matching step. Don't make 'em too tight, though, plenty of clearance, as they'll become sticky with age/corrosion.

OK, so I started my coil over install and now I'm dumbfounded.

I already posted in the 944 section so this is a link to it.

Ideas ?

Posted back in that thread... I think the threaded sleeves you have may be too short for the (apparently) 8" long springs you have... may be better off with longer threaded sleeves, to get that nut up higher...
