i would say...to our world..sure.but to most of the import world..coilovers are seen as a one piece unit that includes the shock, spring, and adjustable coilsleeve all in one..

Once you install the coilovers, that is exactly what you end up with. I think the only difference is the fact that you assemble them yourself using the original strut housing rather than buying a complete unit.

Maybe you are thinking of the Street version, while I am referring to the race version. But then again, the only real difference is the amount of adjustment available and the fact that the race version requires welding...

Shouldn't be a discouragement to anyone. The plastic sleeve is one of the things that makes our kits different than the others. Simply not using them is an option. Not as nice an options but still an option. I will make them a bit smaller on the OD to make up for slight differences in the strut tubes.
