Some of you may remember that a long time ago I ordered adjustable coil overs from paradise racing and did a bad install by placing them right ontop of the stock perch. At that time I didn't have all the bits together to do a proper adjustable coil over setup.
Now a while back I got these extra set of rusty front struts and I've always wanted to turn them into proper units. Today I desided to start working on them and I removed the perch. Note that for now I'm going for a long stroke Koni adjustable setup with these so I'm not going to shorten them by 4cm as you would do with a short stroke setup. The main reason I'm doing this is that I have long stroke Koni's and I dont want to buy a short stroke setup just yet. When I have these struts ready I'll complete them with the parts that are on my car and I'll add the RCA's at that time aswell. I might then do a complete short stroke conversion on the set thats currently on my car. We'll have to see Anyways, here's the progress so far. To remove the perch I slowly cut off piece by piece with an angle grinder (thanks banpei for the lending, I still have no clue where mine is) First cuts: When I got sufficiently close I started grinding the remaining bits down with the angle grinder, this went surprisingly well and easy: I don't have a final picture yet, forgot to take it, but basically both struts now have a nice smooth surface where the perch used to be. Hopefully the coilover sleeve will fit right over. Next step is welding on some new support rings. First have to get the rings Greetz, Bastiaan "mux213" Olij Moved down under, no more hachi |
