[QUOTE="Yellow_rag, post: 14777330, member: 103587"] hey, I just bought a UPR K-member and coilover kit and am having some issues. I've been looking through posts but cant find my exact problem. First, the UPR coilover perch tube is .05 bigger than my KYB struts so it wobbles a bit. I will probably wrap a piece of 24g sheet metal around the strut underneath the perch so it fits snug, but I'm wondering if these struts are smaller diameter than stock. If somebody has the factory Bilsteins on their Cobra and a micrometer, could you possibly measure the strut diameter for me plesae? Second, there is no pinch clamp or anything to set the coil perch on. It will just sit on the ledge of the clamp that bolts the strut to the spindle. I'm concerned the perch needs more support than this. I see pictures on the web of coilover setups with pinch clamps on the strut to hold the spring perch. Anybody got experience with these coilovers on KYBs by chance? I'm wondering if I need to buy Bilstiens now. thanks! [/QUOTE]
