WANTED..ADJUSTING NUTS FOR BILSTEIN TURBO CUP SHOCKS
PORSCHE calls them adjusting nuts. IMHWs I would say they are the threaded collars on the shock that allow the height adjustment for the spring base plate. I am looking for a set. Are there any out there?

When I had some Bilsteins rebuilt by Bilstein, I had them ship me new "Spring Seats" and "Lock Rings", since the existing parts on one strut had been chewed up by previous owner.
"Spring Seat, Porsche" was $ 24.00 each....
"Lock Ring, M52 x 1.5 Black" was $ 9.27 each
Caution.... I had to machine the spring seats since I found out that the non-stock springs I had were a smaller diameter than stock, so be sure
I asked them about the proper wrenches (typically come with kit if you buy Bilsteins new) ...... they threw in the two wrenches at no charge.

I'm jealous - I had the same situation, but pulled the adjusting nuts all off before shipping them to Bilstein... despite my requests, they didn't send any new hardware. Maybe I'll have to call them back and ask again... need two spring seats and 2-4 adjusting nuts...

Thanks guys for the three leads.
BTW is anyone familar with the new seat lowereing bracket from OMP ????? I have cut, drilled, cussed, cussed more, attempting to get some seat rake out of a sparco EVO. I have tried both Brey-Krauss and Sparco mounts. I am really ticked at Sparco for telling me the seat angles were the same as my PRO 2000. I would use the 2000 but, it's not as snug as I prefer and the high sides get to be a drag climbing in and out of all weekend.

Has anyone found that the ID of the spring seats are supposed to fit a 2.25 ID spring, but are too big by about 3mm? I'm using Hypercoils BTW with Escort Cups.
