I have Tokico illumina struts and H&R Race springs. I need to raise my car to fit slicks, I think sleeves will be my best rout. Can anyone recommend a good sleeve and where I can buy them without springs because I don't need them?

Thank you!

 

I belive skunk2 sells them,
or, you could always just buy cheepo ebay coilovers.

 

I'll check with skunk2, crappy ones aren't an options as these are going on a 489whp DC2

 

wait what? you said you didnt want the springs.
thats why i recomended no names.

 

Ebay sleeves can crack and break. Especially if he's gonna be drag racing.

 

Summit carries quite a few.

 

Thanks. I'll check summit. I emailed Skunk2 and am waiting for a reply. I spoke with gound control and they told me my springs won't work on their sleeves because they're "lowering" springs. My guess is Skunk2 will say the same thing.

Do you guys think it matters which brand my struts and springs are?

 

If you have H&R lowering springs, the inner diameter of the spring is to fit a stock spring seat. Most coilover conversion kits have a spring seat of 2.5", 2.25", or 60mm inner diameter, which will not work with your application. However, there may be a company that does sell adjustable sleeves for a stock type spring.

 

Correct. Most adjustable sleeves will not work with lowering springs. Now I've seen adjustable height kits with springs and shocks from H&R, Neuspeed, and others, that appeared to use OE-style springs, but they were still most likely made to fit the sleeves.

 

Thanks for the information. Bummer... Looks like I've got some extra H&R race springs if anyone needs them. To confirm I called Ground Control and they confirmed my springs will not work with their product.

 

also dont coilover springs need to be flat on the bottom as well to set into the seat? opposed to rounded like regular coil springs
