#29611, "KYB AGX and Skunk2"


          

I have searched and read that everyone seems to end up cutting off the perches that are welded onto the KYB AGXs, but I was curious if anyone has make-shifted a way to get the KYBs to work with the Skunk2 coil overs. It seems to me that the rear struts don't need to be modified, but it looks like the front shocks are going to need to be modified. I wanted to know if there was a way to get around grinding off the perches. I'd like to find a way to make the 2 products work without any modification. - The install instructions that came with the coils and the shocks don't seem to be helping me much. Thanks.

I already found away around that problem. The install was easy, and it all seems to work.

Since you figured it out you should post what you did so others may have reference should they ever go the same route you did.

To be honest, I don't really have a good mathematical solustion or anything, but all that I had to do was lock the coil sleeve onto the KYB in order to get it so that it wouldn't wabble. My solution was rubber o-rings. Just make sure the coil is setting evenly and that it doesn't wabble. - It works.
