I wanna buy this kit but I don't know if the sleeves are 2 inch so they can fit over my bilsteins and front housings. Anybody have some information they can hand out?

Those will work.

Those will work.

Sweet, thanks for the confirmation! I'll be ordering a sweet set up for my car ready to install after the car gets a respray

to the OP, would these same front shock options (g60, IX e30's, etc) work for an e21?

another question, based on you building these for and E21 and your E24, do you think coilovers designed for an E28 would work on an E21? thanks

A combination of a cutting wheel to remove it and an angle grinder to get it to a smooth finish for new coilover spring perches. I can post pictures of some 630csi struts on Monday to show you more.

Okay, can someone lead me in the direction for some of these universal sleeves and adjusters? Are they something to get separate from one another or would I be better of getting one of these universal kits and just throw the included springs away? Also, are new top hats needed??

Bump.

Just check eBay

I had been checking on there, but all I saw was those shitty Honda coilover sleeve applications, and none of the threaded sleeves looked really long enough for much adjustment. But through some more research I've decided to go with these..

Summit makes a good set for that. Any kit like we have to make won't have a lot of height adjustability so you just have to place the collar lower to get everything where you want it.

In any case to use those sleeves, you will need to change the height of your original perch which I don't think is necessary, I used the Civic sleeves and they work completely fine. I even had to cut from the top to fit the nut on top for the inserts. I have some photos in my thread for my M6 go check it out.
