If you already have the OE struts on your car, you reuse the those parts.

Top hat, upper perch, bump stop, sleeve (1-6).

Hope you are not in a hurry in getting the HDs. Still about a months away till Bilstein will have them.

BTW. why are you going with the stock spring? If you don't want a big drop, just buy GTWorx srings for the better perfomance if you are already upgrading the shocks.

Like SmikeEvo said, reuse everything above the spring, 1-6.

They look available to me unless you have information to prove otherwise. And the GTWorx are no longer being produced. They are doing one last group buy and that’s not till this spring.

Where do you think I have my order sitting at for the last 4 weeks? Right here:

Just cause a reseller has them for sale doesn't mean they have it in stock. And I know that MOST reseller do not stock shocks, well exept for GTWorx till they sold out.

As for the springs, I know GTWorx are no longer being produced, that is why I recommended them. Great springs, shame they won't be made.

But hey, looks like you have your mind set. Go with what you want. I got a set of spare springs sitting around somewhere if you are interested.

^ Hopefully we we will be doing another production run of our springs, but as mentioned it will take some time.
