i just did tis a couple mins ago, does it look fine? just makin sure i did it right

 

Be sure to cover the end of the coil...You don't want any metal touching metal. I think if you slide the hose off about 1/2 inch, you should be fine.

 

yes, what John said about covering the end of the coil is correct. You don't want metal contacting metal. Nasty sound inside the car. You should make sure the hose comes completely around the coil. Use a ziptie if you have to to make sure the hose doesn't walk around and come off the end of the coil.

The third gen (82-92) Bilstein shocks are valved differently and respond better "out of the box" than the fourth gen shocks. Sam will be able to further explain that (or his mom Arlyn perhaps).

 

I went with Koni SAs all around. 4th Gen fronts with Lower spring perch and 3rd Gen rears. I love the way my car rides now.

 

kool nice to hear the 3rd gen are better,quick question u guys pick single or double adjustment?

 

SA for the front and rear if you don't want the Bilstein 3rd gen rears. Remember, the Koni SA fronts are the only shock that have the second perch setting that allows you to drop the nose 3/4" inch. Call Sam, he'll make sure you have the right info to decide.

 

Go with the SAs for sure.

 

the sa's are single or double adj?this is good because normally the best springs for our heavy verts are the bmr's 1" drop but with the koni's in the front and hose mod in the rear i can achive a 1.75" drop

 

SA stands for Single Adjustable. DAs do not have the Lower Spring perch, just give Sam a call at Strano Parts and he'll tell you more.

 

ohh kool, the single's also cost less thanks guys

 

Here's a question...what if you don't want to get the Koni's for the front end, then what are your options? Can you do the hose mod to the front springs as well? Do the fronts have isolators too? I have Sportlines right now, and driving on Clevelands roads SUCK!

 

Can someone give me the size of that hose and what places usually carry them?

 

It's a typical 1/2" or 3/4" heater hose. Buy 2 feet of it, and slide it over the top coil. Be sure to cover the entire coil, so it's not metal to metal.

 

It's actually a 5/8" hose
