Koni yellows and GC sleeves...

how do you build a set of coils for an s13 with these...
and furthermore how do you attach them to a hub assembly.

someone please cure me of my ignorance.

pics or diagrams would help a lot.

You have to cut your existing front struts and gut them out. Then drill a hole in the bottom. The koni damper drops in and you bolt it in with the hole you drilled at the bottom of your gutted old strut housing. You also have to cut the spring seat off the housing and figure out a way to mount the GC sleeve to it.

The rears just bolt on like any damper/spring assembly.

A member on here could make you brand new seats for the fronts.
