Took the washer off, check the thread as I think mine had different threads on them. I know old toyotas had right thread on them, damn shanked nuts.

ok so i will need to shorten my struts for coilovers anyways ,will that fix the problem ? ,my ute has about 2 inch travel in the rear ,before the diff hits the rails ! so im not fussed about having enough travel to do jumps and stuff
also ,the honda coilover kits are cheap ,but they look to have plastic top spring perches ,am i seeing this right ?
so mik ,yours went straight on with a hotwire (shanked)wheel nut ,did it still need a spacer ? cos i got thousands of those wheel nuts

I remember piggy made some spacer under the tops when u used stanza inserts, the didn't sit right on the bearing. That's why used wheel nuts on the top of shocks through the pillow ball- they fit sung in pillow ball and right thread for shocks- you know those wheel nuts used on hot wires etc....

Will camber tops hold the spring two inches less captive because the nut will be just above the perch instead off way above the perch?
Or do they require another perch bellow the rose joint so basicly the same but two inches bellow the strut tower instead of above the strut tower?
So the bump loss is small but the height gain is sh!t. Hmmm time for adjustable sleeves... Which would result in more bump loss to keep the height down.

from mradee's post sounds like you need to mod something to suit your shock
bump is travel upward - or compressing the spring, read it as suspension travel lost
with the s13 tops in your case add 2inches to how much you lowered it and that's how much less than stock suspension travel you have

Yeah stanza shocks suck lowered, 200b are good if doing Coilovers. Cut them down further for z31 shocks or similar

the only downside is that as the 1200 strut top reaches up through the strut tower 2 inches, you would be then mounting the shocker end 2 inches lower using these (and most) adjustable tops. this means you have lost two inches of shocker travel in the bump direction. This is probably ok on a road car, but be careful if using stanza struts or you have lowered the car also... the stanza strut is 2inches longer than a 1200 strut, that combined with adjustable tops means you have lost 4 inches of bump!

yes s13 camber tops fit straight into the 3 holes, im running them but i had to get the thread sleeve modified to fit standard shock thread size as s13's run a larger shock .
