Hey guys,
installing my k1 street coilovers and I have run into a dilemma. My old setup used type r rear control arms and shocks, and I am switching to standard gsr lca’s (skunk2) because the type r bolt isn’t long enough to fit through the fork, I am buying new hardware. Well, I got home and have started the reinstalling everything, and I have come to find that the bolt hole in the rear fork is bigger than the m10 bolt, and there is a lot of play. An m12 bolt fits perfect, but does not fit through my lca bushing. What am I doing wrong here?

 

all the rear lca bolts are 10mm dia but they are not standard, generic bolts. are you using OEM bolts?

 

Well, I didn’t have any so
i went to the hardware store to get some. The only ten I could find was about 10mm to short. The hole drilled in the fork is 13mm in diameter. I ordered some factory bolts yesterday. According to k1 that is normal. I don’t like that if it’s normal. Seems cheap.
