I made sure I ordered the 2003/2004 Cobra specific coil over kit (for use WITH Bilsteins. However, I go and put the kit on, and the coil over sleeves look like this when on the strut...<br /><br /><a href="http://s65.photobucket.com/user/autumnstang97/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_13.jpeg.html" target="_blank"> <img src="http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/autumnstang97/Mobile%20Uploads/image_13.jpeg" alt=" - " /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s65.photobucket.com/user/autumnstang97/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_12.jpeg.html" target="_blank"> <img src="http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/autumnstang97/Mobile%20Uploads/image_12.jpeg" alt=" - " /></a><br /><br />I think that notch is supposed to go lower to prevent the sleeve from spinning, however that's as low as it goes....<br /><br />Anyone know if UPR sent the right ones? I am waiting for them to call me back. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Autumnstang97</b> <br /><small>Member # 6111</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2016,2,19,16,2,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Ok.<br />Well I did some research and looked at maximum Motorsports coil over kit. They use a split clamp collar at the base of the sleeve, so the sleeve sits on top of the clamp. I ordered the 2" bore split clamp sleeves (2) and I should have them in a week. I'll post up picks <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>SwEeT03Gt</b> <br /><small>Member # 10283</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2016,3,8,20,31,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> bump curious as to what was the part you had to buy <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Autumnstang97</b> <br /><small>Member # 6111</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2016,3,10,16,27,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> So I bought the silver clamp to put at the base of the sleeve. Basically to keep the sleeve seated evenly around the strut (like a shelf). Although the sleeve will rotate around, I assume with the vehicle weight it won't just spin around. There's a locking screw on the spring perch/ring to keep it from spinning on the sleeve.<a href="http://s65.photobucket.com/user/autumnstang97/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_20.jpeg.html" target="_blank"> <img src="http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/autumnstang97/Mobile%20Uploads/image_20.jpeg" alt=" - " /></a><br /><br />My only dilemma now is that the top cap of the coil over kit stops here on the strut. So I set the spring up higher to close that gap so the washers and bearings were closed together. However i want to lover the car about two inches now from where it sits, but I believe that too cap will seperately from the main cap and expose the bearing and washers.<br /><a href="http://s65.photobucket.com/user/autumnstang97/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_19.jpeg.html" target="_blank"> <img src="http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h213/autumnstang97/Mobile%20Uploads/image_19.jpeg" alt=" - " /></a><br /><br />Anyone know if this looks normal? <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
