also would you be keen to sell the interior parts that your not using? i would be super keen to buy the door cards as the only 1 i have is poo! if your keen could you please PM me and we could sort something out? also if your not using other interior and want to flick it off i could be keen as my interior is quite bare!

cheers dude!

Hey man, i think the coilover kit from memory was between 250 and 300 bux i needed to get a sleeve made up too because the i.d of the coilover sleeve is 51mm and the strut was 48 or somthing. Thats no biggy though. That doesnt include springs, they were 280 for the pair. As for the interior bits mate i have absolutley none left, sorry about that.

Money is in Aussie dollars.

Universal camber tops $299/pair

Designed to be used in conjunction with our HSD sleeve kits, our blank camber tops can be adapted to almost any car using struts. The top plate is not drilled, so it can be trimmed and drilled to suit your strut tower. Two sets of studs are supplied to suit most applications. In the kit you get two plates with pillow-ball sliders, 12 studs, two tapered spacers and two M14 sleeve nuts (to suit most strut inserts). Alternative sleeve nuts are available to order.

HSD Sleeve kits $299 a kit

New from HSD, these all-purpose sleeve kits are the easiest way to convert your struts into height-adjustable coilovers. They are ideal for older cars or more unusual models where no off-the-shelf coilovers are available.

Available in 45mm, 48mm, 51mm and 55mm internal diameter, each kit includes two sleeves, two spring seats, two lock nuts, two main springs, two helper springs and an upper spring locator. You can choose any spring rate between 4kg/mm and 8kg/mm (except for the 55mm kit, 6kg/mm only).

At only $299 a kit the new HSD Sleeve kits are great value. Most similar kits on the market do not include springs or helper springs.

I used the HSD sleeve kits on my standard 1200 coupe struts.
worked mint and good value. and great that you can get in the smaller sleeve size to fit the skinny 1200 strut tubes

Also if you email Ben, he will deduct the GST costs for export cost me AU$315 delivered from memory, and turned up 4 days after I brought them!

excellent product , excellent service

In these kits is the threaded sleeve steel and welded to the strut or is there a seat that comes with it, (Not shown with kit) that you weld on?

Hahahaha far feeling the love much! lol As for sending it down, there maybe a exhaust manifold heading your way shortly bro. Thats the plan at least.

Those HSD sleeves seem to have a much longer sleeve than others i have seen, seems to be a very well put together kit and the fact that Kitch has them fitted has pretty much convinced me to get a set.

I did noltec kit from sutolign. Cheap as fuck. Weld on like HSD but has disgusting anodised bule spring seats. I just got them re anodised silver
