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!

I used to use grinding disc,but flap wheel does it better as shown in your video,Thank you for such amazing way to cut certain part.
-
Thank you for the explanation and your advice. Appreciated.

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.

You could have told me about these a couple of years ago Todd! Really great stuff!

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!

Hey was up. I have a Mitsubishi lancer ck2, I wanna do this on my car. Can you help me with what to buy.

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

Thanks for posting, explains a lot! I've been trying to build some coilovers for a car that they aren't available for. Where are you finding such cheap deals on parts? New race springs seems to be minimum $50/ea, and those sleeves are $50 per corner. Still affordable, but that's $400 total. I was just wondering if I'm searching the wrong keywords. I don't mind buying used parts either.

Awesome, it helps me alot! Can I weld the sleeve in the bottom and the top without risk?
