Default Ground control adapters for koni?

So, i have koni yellows and i just got some used ground controls from this guy who used it on his del sol as well, but paired with his stock shocks.

The ground control sleeves don't sit flush to my konis, so it's basically made for stocks, etc... but, not koni specified

are there any ground control adapters i could use to put them on my konis? i'm low on cash, so purchasing a new set of ground controls specified for konis is out of the question will the skunk2 adapters work since the regular ground control sleeves are the same diameter as the skunk2 sleeves? i am open to buying ground control sleeves specified for konis, but can't find any. i might go with the skunk2 metal adapters. has anyone tried it?

thanks.

Last we heard from eibach they don't exist and if they did would be dangerous.

You need koni specific ground control coilovers. Phone up Eibach.

^ Just give them a call and they'll know what you need, they're really helpful.

I had the same problem as you, called them up and they sent me new Koni specific sleeves and perches, for just over $100 shipped. Only thing that sucks is that now I'm stuck with a set of perfect sleeves and perches for any other strut, because Koni just HAD to be difficult and make their's different haha.

Here's a thread from when I was having this problem, JrEk9's pictures are super helpful.
