Default anyone run the threaded adjuster for bilsteins?

I don't need infinite adjustability as i don't really race, but would like some ride height adjustment. Im thinking of using the above kit with some bilsteins, was wondering if anyone has used it before.

Those will not work.
The diameter is too small on those sleeves,our bilsteins are 2" diameter.You would need like a 52mm sleeve for it to work.

Look for threaded spring seat sleeves for 2" dia.shocks.

good to know, i hadn't measured yet obviously but i thought 36 and 46 were pretty standard.

I've seen the ground control kit, but its not worth spending that much to me right now.

also, bilstein should not be used with lowering springs.

"coil overs" are not the best handling solution for our cars either.....

Thumbs up

IMO, I've had the G.C. setup, but just doesn't compare the the Global West setup!
