Just when you think you're done...wait, there is more..lol Group: Members Posts: 10,219 Joined: 21-September 06 From: Seattle, WA... actually Everett Member No.: 6,884 Region Association: Pacific Northwest |
So I am think of putting the Koni yellows on the rear since they are already up front. I have a friend that is going to trade me the coil over setup as he can use the one I have on the reds and I need the yellows. Now, I need to know what size springs to get. I think I am going have him send me a set of 250s and 275s but I need to know what length. He says the ones he has laying around are 2 1/2" wide and 9" long. He think's his dad has 10" long ones. I need to know if these are the right sizes or if I need to look to another friend. Both will need to ship these and I don't want to have to ship back and forth. I would like to get it right the first time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

those are the same springs and collars i had on the car when i ran ext adj yellows. same fit. Yeah, they look the same but it is my understanding that ground control(or whoever makes them) asks you what shock you are ordering the collars for and then sends you the correct diameter centering ring inside the collar to fit the particular shock you are running. The Koni reds are like 2.10" or something like that while the Bilsteins are right at or just under 2.00" and I think the Koni yellows are the same as the bilsteins or a tad smaller. Basically, I you have 2" collars they won't fit on Koni Reds(the problem I am having) and if you have Koni red collars(2.1") they will be to big for Bilsteins or Koni yellows. Clear as mud right?
