New Strut/Sping install??

New Shock/Spring Install Questions

Hi guys. Just got a new set of Bilsteins delivered to mate with a set of Eibach Pro springs. Question- neither have a spring perch with them. Do I use the ones from the original setup of shocks/springs? or do I need to buy some new ones? I'm guessing the later

Also, any pointers or tricks of the trade regarding the removal and installation of the old and new setup? Much thanks in advance!!

Unlike Konis, I think my Bilsteins came with perches. Odd that yours would not. Did you get the dust boots and bump-stops? The stock perches can be removed, and if the shock body is the same diameter then they could probably be used as with Konis.

The bumper stops and dust boots did come with htem but the spring perches did not. I'll check with the supplier.

Thanks for the tip on the the stock spring perches.

I've tried the stock perches on Bilstiens. Unfortunately, the stock inside diameter is a little too big for a proper fit.
