[Supras] Sleeve over coilovers??

[Supras Ireland Admin]

I did fit the ones that were advertised on Fleebay a while back that were
supposed to have been designed for the mk3 turbo. Same company that sold the
knock off Shifters that were a POS too.
I used them with Koni adjustables. 20mins after installing and testing they
were removed and binned, completely useless. This the main problem with any
sleeve design is the fact the front pearch sits to high and dosnt allow to
much adjustment range with a sleave installed, unless a shorter spring is
used, but with more poundage.
4 x new koni adjustabes and 4 x lowering springs or Ground control setup Vs
a few pennies more for Tein or Megan?? i know were my moneys going :-)
