NEX coils

[jcbe34]

Well what exactly happened? Did they shorten the housings 1" like Ground Control calls for or did they not shorten them and just cut the stock perches off? Shortening Nex stuff is less work than GC because you don't have to re-weld a perch on the housing. You need to find out if they actually shortened the housings, I'm thinking not if they are talking about needing to re-thread the housings, that's a roundabout way of doing it. Most people just cut off the perch, section out 1-2 inches on the housing where the stock perch would be and weld it back together.

How does the strut housings need to be shortened exactly. Want to get my housings modified so I could throw my coilovers on.

the stock perch needs to come out ...basically just cut it off and then 2 inches needs to be take out of where the stock perch used to be and then welded back together...check the NEX thread on BF.C

I have been following the Nex thread since the beginning. I have seen the end result if a shortened housing, but never seen a DIY type thread of how to actually go about it. So I just keep the top part of the housing where the perch used to be, and section a 2" piece out of the tube below. Then weld the perch area back down on top of the tube. I will have a better visual when I get the housing out.

Is that the shipped price? I was looking into the Ksports at one point. They also need to have modified strut housings from what I found.
