where can I get cheap coilover spring perches
 

My seven year old spring perches are so frozen in place that I have to cut them off.

Where can I replace them cheap? So far the only solution I see is those ebay honda coilover kits. They're selling the whole kit with springs for less than I have seen the spring perches alone so far.

Seems kind of wastful to me.

And while we're at it, there are three types of adjusters I have seen, which is best? (least likely to jam, easiest to adjust, etc)

set screw on the collar
clamp style collar
jam nut style collar

I like the screw on the collar like what Ground Control has.

Are you looking for replacements for your existing threaded perches? If yes, then you'll need to make sure that the thread pitch, diameter, etc., match. Why not just buy replacements from the same manufacturer?

The dirt track guys use parts like this all the time and they pay about half as much for them...

I searched and couldn't find any spring perches at stockcarproducts.com but I already found coilover kits at www.behrents.com. They were about $35-40 per wheel.

Those ebay kits start at $65 shipped for kits complete with 4 springs. It seems wastful to me to throw away 4 new springs but that's what I'll do if I can't find the spring perches alone for less than $15 per wheel.

I think I'll choose the jam nut style of spring perches. I always had problems with sand in the threads of the set screw style. It seems to me the clamp style will have the same problem. I also think those small screws in the perch are always in danger of stripping or rounding out the allen key.

stockcarproducts must not list them online. I have a paper catalog and all that stuff is in there.

Thanks but the cost just isn't working out. It looks like I'll be buying the ebay kit. I'll let you know if it's any good.

Please do keep us posted on how your ebay coilovers work out, which ones you selected, anything you do to them. Thanks!
