Subject:      Bilstein 2wd coilover recipe
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Thought I'd throw this out into the wild, basically a hand-rolled kit I pieced together over the last year. You may be able to get all the parts from a single source.

5" Bilstein SL Series shock, 230/78 e.g. http://www.resuspension.com/cart/Bilstein-SL-Series-Shock.html

Stem Adapter P/N 192228 e.g. http://www.lowrangeoffroad.com/index.php/bilstein-5150-shock-stem-adapter-192228.html

2.5" x 10" coilover springs, 600# e.g. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EIB-10002500600/

I inherited the coil over adapter kit from a friend, but it was something like this:

2.5" coilover adapter kit: e.g. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Bilstein-Small-Body-Steel-Coilover-Kit,6871.html

but with a flat, solid top, something like this: e.g. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/flat-coil-over-upper-spring-seat-only,31914.html

I take absolutely no responsibility for anything in this email ;)
