    Coilover Dilemma

    A while back I got a ground control coil over set up from a B13 and was sure that it would fit onto kyb agx shocks, but when I went to pair them up, none of them were even close to being able to slide fully into the shock. Am I completely screwed and need to get a new coil over set up?

    You can use the sleeves from the egay coilovers. I have them on my p10 in the rear and it works fine.

    are the sleeves on the ebay coil overs bigger or something. I was thinking of getting rid of the coil overs and just going with some h&r springs

    Which sleeves? My rear gc sleeves are broken, and I need only the sleeves. Are you using kyb shocks too?

    I would measure the AGX farther down and make sure that the GC collar will fit. If it will, I would just grind that top portion a small amount for the collar to fit over it.

    I had this issue with my GC's on my Koni inserts for my B13. Don't go crazy with the grinder and heat the AGX too much or too quickly. Do a little bit, let it cool, and do some more. I think that is easier than buying other sleeves.

    Measure farther down to make sure it will fit once that is finished - it would suck to do the work and not have them fit.

    well i thought about that and it would be easy in the fronts, but i measured the diameter of both the sleeve and the bottom of the shock and they are the same diameter plus i dont really like the idea of grinding on brand new and not to mention expensive shocks

    Where do you get Konis for a P10? I can't find them anywhere.
