Default stock spring perches
I'm about to install Bilsteins into my Car, and I need the Steel Plates the bottom of the Coil Spring seats against when you install them.

The Bilsteins don't come with them, the Factory Stock Shocks do and they are long gone, I had replacements from somewhere else and the perches don,t come off.


Does anyone happen to have a pair off of some stock Shocks or know where i can get them?

This is what I'm talking about..

Maybe the ones from Koni shocks fit? Perhaps they can sell you just the perch? Else try GM, or junkyards...

Moog K80927

Found them for $1.95 on Amazon last month. Retail stores were charging ~$15 if I remember correctly.
