Want to know how to make your struts into coil overs? This video shows how we remove the perch completely to allow for much more adjustment out of a set of coil over sleeves.

This is the method we have been using for years on our stock cars to make off the shelf struts into adjustable coil overs for next to nothing.

DISCLAIMER: Struts are under high pressure internally, this is done AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

This is the most comprehensive yet easy to understand video I've come across for a coilovers conversion/modification. Great content!

Instant subscribe excellent quality clarity value found nowhere else on YouTube. I ran 1800.00 Bilstein PSS9’s. (You know when I had money.) With Your instruction I could grab worn out shocks rebuild them and coil over it from a junkyard.

Very cool strategy here. I debating doing this and utilizing stock struts, or tig welding coilovers from scratch. I'm happy I know I have this option now at least.

This is a great video and very informative. I know shock stroke/length, adjustable sleeve length and spring length play a factor, but After cutting off the factory spring perch what is the best best way to determine where you weld the new perch location?

Do you use o-rings or silicone to keep the threaded sleeve in place? I'm in the middle of doing the same conversion on my 87' Toyota Mr2. Great Channel btw!

My subaru struts are 2-1/8" diameter. Is there any wiggle room on the ID of the sleeve? What is the ID?
