The 93+ cars do not use struts.

Verdad Gallardo I think I even have a set of factory ones laying around, too. Does anyone know if the Bilsteins are a different diameter than the Koni or stock shocks? Just to be on the safe side, I'll give you the stock ones if you still need them. I'm pretty sure they will fit the Bilsteins, otherwise Bistein would have included a special size perch with their shocks, right?
Oh yeah, the Koni comes with them because the top hats are too big in diameter to slide them on or off without taking the shock apart. Now I remember. So they should all be the same diameter.

Joser, I can only find one of the stock perches. I tried the Koni ones on the stock shock and it is a perfect fit so I'll send you them. I also just remembered that you will need the hard nylon spring coil cup things as well.
I only have the one to send you. It goes under the spring to make the coil end sit flat. See if you can get another one from the dealer or somewhere.
Do you need these super quick? I can look around and see if I can get another plastic piece for you and send them all together.

Just got them mailed. Should be 3-4 days.
What are you going to do with the QA1's once you get them off?
Maybe you can do me a favor and take some pics and measurements of them.
