the adjustable perch + adjustabblbe perch thing is confusing me, could it just have an adaaptor to support the threaded perch?

Did you use the lower perches that came with the koni's?

The Konis should come with a ring that fits around the shock and sits on a small groove on the shock. The coilover sleeve then sits on that ring.

If you have the older design, turn the coilover sleeve upside down and put it on the shock. The coilover sleeve should sit on that groove on it.

I got the circlip & circlip retaining ring, but all I got to hold the coilover sleeves is a normal perch and the coilover sleeve wont sit on it very well i dont think. I dont have the ground controls yet, but i'm trying to figure out how it will work.

travis: how are your threaded perches staying up? I can't see anything holding them.

That's why you have to get the special "Koni" GC sleaves, they fit tight over the circlip and they have thier own circlip retaining ring built into them.

As stated above, there is a circlip on the Konis that fits into a black ring in the GC sleeve. Not only does the black ring (AKA: Koni adapter) hold the sleeve from going down past the circlip, but it also keeps the circlip from opening. I don't have a picture of how they go together, but if you have the right sleeves you can't screw it up.
