Hex head nuts are not included in the ebay pirate kit. Buy (2) 12 x 1 .25 nuts. These are needed for lower read shock mounts, (1) each side.

Has anyone tried putting on coilover extenders for the rear coilovers??
If so, what brand extender did you use?
and where did you purchase them? Thank you!

Has anyone figured out the noise issue yet?
I installed mine Saturday and set the preload, tight enough for the spring not to move. Still have a crazy clanking coming from the driver side rear. took the strut off and noticed obvious play on the shock piston, I kind shook them while they were off and heard some clinking. Could this cause the struts to be making this crazy clank? If that is the case then hopefully we can get replacements.

Despite the annoying noise, they ride buttery smooth. The right stiffness minus the bone jarring sensation.

Another question, how did the SnB guys go so low on these coilovers? I maxxed out the fronts and the rears (with zero preload, just spinning the struts all the way down), and tried driving around and it bottomed out too easily. After setting a decent preload im actually pretty high, so I am curious on how they did it. haha
