I just bought a set of koni yellows used from a guy I know from another board. I tried to put them in last night, but the koni's don't have a perch like my stock struts do, so the skunk 2 coilovers don't have a place to sit! Has anyone done this install? Does anyone know how to get these to work?

The guy I bought them from used ground controls, and aparently they just slid onto the koni's. Anyone have some input?

The GC sleeve sit right on the circlip on the shock. You'll probably need to order the perches from Koni to do this.

I have a set at home but i wont be back there until mid-week if you wanted to me to send them to you.

 

Your definitely going to need the perches for the skunk sleeves to fit. The ones in the top of the pic. Those are for the rears. The fronts are smaller.

 

yeah but the guy I bought them from is saying that they don't have them with the kits! He can't find the parts. So I called koni, and they said to call skunk 2 and they would have a part I need. But skunk 2 wants 80 bucks for the damn parts!

$80 for what parts?

Why not use the koni cups, they're the same fitment as stock spring seats

 

this is where you can get creative.

you can use the stock perches (and spring "cups") and get everything to work still.
