I measured these a month or two ago and I want to say that they are 2.09-2.11", Basically, they are too big for standard coilover conversion kits(which is why I measured them). Kyle Sit tight, I will remeasure to make sure. |

Kyle Sit tight, I will remeasure to make sure. So, they are 2.15"-2.2" or so. Most coil over kits are 2"-2.08" ID which is why I was measuring mine in the first place. What's your plan? Kyle |

Kyle (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Thank you Kyle! Yes...you're right on the money. I would like to install a coil over kit with adjustable perches. Paragon has a kit for $240 which would include a pair of 200# springs that would slide over the Konis...I believe he said thier coil overs are 54mm in diameter. Campbells is suppose have the stuff I would need pretty cheap. I would really like to finda way to use my brand new 200# springs from Renegade. Most people use Bilsteins, I have yet to find anyone that has done this with Konis. |
