For F355: 60 mm racing spring adapter...

A search gave me this old post without answers...
So nearly 14 years later, anyone knows if there is a solution to fit smaller diameter springs on original coilovers?

 

The likely course is to have such spring perches machined.

 

Yes but anybody is selling a kit for this?

 

I machined mine to use 3" coil springs.

 

Did you take any pics before installing them?

 

Sorry, I did not take any photos. I got standard H&R springs that are x3 stiffer than stock. The nice advantage is you can play with spring rates to match your driving needs.

 

Delta V has them

 

I emailed them few weeks ago and no answers, I also tried to call them today with no succes.

Anyone else is making those parts?

 

Not sure if anyone else is, have not heard of anyone else, but as mentioned they are pretty easy to have machined. Good luck!

 

Yes, pretty easy if you have a machine shop and you know what to do.
Otherwise...

 

Hill Engineering make the standard retainers, I am sure they can machine a modified set for your needs if you ask them.

 

This is what I'm looking for:

I was supposed to purchase the last setup Delta Vee had left. He’s not making any more of those top mounts unless another 5 buyers want to purchase. He still has my $3500 deposit and has been MIA since October 22.

The smaller diameter spring perch most likely comes from another damper for another car as his are blue in color.

 

Ouch! Not cool.
Sorry for you

 

You can try your luck with Bilstein Japan .

Well, you talked about Bilstein Japan and post a pic from something else...
Why not posting a direct link from where you saw this pic?
It would be more helpfull.
Thanks.

 

Bilstein Japan is the one who put together the setup in the pic.

You think I have a link to every picture ive saved over the last 15 years?

 

Well because Bilstein built that shock but they used parts from hyperco. I mean your welcome to call bilstein about another company's parts or call the company that sells the parts Bilstein used. Up to you but it seems pretty clear who to call about hyperco perches.

It's fine, I will refrain from helping.
And by all means, post back what Bilstein tells you when you ask them about hyperco perches.

Hyperco springs and ICP perch are standard products anyone can purchase from Hyperco. The custom top mount and lower spring perches were custom built by Bilstein Japan.

Relax

Perches are not the issue. easy to do.
Sensible parts are the top mounts.
Without them, there is no way to fit narrow springs.
