Yeah, I have the BC ER with extenders, hence the 3/4" holes

You guys know I did this back in the day when HKS came out with their Hipermax III's

bullitt5897 03-01-2012 04:42 PM

I eyed it and did it by hand :tup: perfect circles with a decent dremel.

Are you referring to these kind of holes?

Baer, your damper knobs look great!

UAM- Did you have some sort of cover for the holes? They really detract from the rest of your hatch area.

fyi guys, Ksport and BC both have extensions.

Both great coilover choices ... but I am going to slap some Ark DT-P's on, so no extenders for me :tup:

Thanks:hello:

My coil overs are BC ER and what you seeing is the extension but trimmed to fit.

I think your way is fine if I found some sort of rubber/plastic plug with a pull tab on it ... pop it in and pop it out.

Damn, Baer, those look great. I tried doing that too but the part of the extensions that connect to the coilover itself, it would push up against the interior body panel, so i had to cut it out a little wider than that.

Yeah mine was very hard to turn so I took out the black sleeve and use the outer part of a black Bic pen which was a little smaller in dia. and kept trimming then lubed everything up before assembly ,now it turns smooth and easy.

Yeah I have a cover for the tops the problem we had is HKS didnt have extenders and I needed to be able to get my big hands in there to make adjustments.

I've seen people use the desk grommets (the 2-3" black plastic grommets for running cables through desks) before and it looked pretty good.
Plus, they come with covers/inserts, so it's clean when you aren't adjusting...
