Coilover sleeve conversions

Convert regular shocks and struts to full coilover

Coilover sleeve - conversion kits provide a cost-effect way to convert to a full coilover setup while retaining your existing non-threaded Bilstein struts and rear shocks.  Our kits are complete and fully developed.  

Front coilover sleeve conversion kit -

A no-weld kit to convert regular non-threaded Bilstein struts to full adjustable height coilover setup.  Struts and inserts are not included.

Sleeve Conversion kit contains all these items:

Upper Perch - Extended to move spring below chassis, thus allowing max camber adjustment range.  Choose perch for regular camber plates or QuickChange Camber Plate fitment.

Seat Bearing Kit - Prevents spring wind-up allowing ease-of-steering.

Strut inserts - Are not included.   You may wish to purchase Von Shocks valved to match your chosen springs.

Strut Wiper - Shortens strut 3/4 inch for added travel, much needed on lowered cars.

Lower Perch - Easy height adjustment and corner balancing.

Threaded Sleeve - Provides height adjustability.

Sleeve Base - Slips on and positions threaded sleeve, no welding required.

Tools and Instructions - kit includes a tool to ease wiper seal removal and full installation instructions.

Complete your kit with spring options:

Main Spring - The finest springs available, Hypercoil.  Choose from a broad selection of rates, here are a few popular choices:

200 lb - Street performance, canyon carver

300 lb - Autocross, Drivers Education

400 lb - Race

Helper Spring / Dividers - Prevents Main Spring from coming off perches at full suspension droop.   Fully compressed in normal operation.  Required for all but the softest springs. Divider ensures Main Spring and Helper Spring remain properly seated
