threaded coil-over sleeves
#21
Pulling this back up, been trying to figure out which ebay sleeve kit to get for my bilsteins and have no idea which one to look for.
Don't have access to a machine shop, just looking for something that works.
Could anyone help me out here?
Edit: Does this look right? No mention of ID though. :/ http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-95...ht_3035wt_1151

le'me look for some
this is probably the most common install. Just drop the tubes onto the AL Billy seat and go
properly, you would pull the AL seat and slide the tube on. This lets the tube rest on the c clip on the shock body.
See the groove cut inside of this tube?
On a Billy, the tube "step" machined inside is a square, flat step. Some other companies have used a round step here to seat against a round c clip.

Functionally I doubt there is much difference except that with a Bilstein specific sleeve you could run a longer spring or a lower ride height by moving the locking nuts down. When I installed mine on Illuminas I didn't use the top aluminum spacer and I used a 54mm bumpstop. That gives a bit more travel before the bumpstops contact.

Just need to decide on a set, waiting for ebay guy to get back to me about the ID...
