strut perches
Im about to install my escort coilovers in the next few weeks. Im going with the zx2 struts but my only concern is my stock upper spring perch is to old to be modified to fit the zx2's. So where do I get new perches? or will hte zx2 struts comes with them? if not can I get zx2 spring perches and not have to modify them?...im going to go ahead and thank protege sts because I know he will be the first to respond
hopefully..<p>-Ryan

Re: strut perches
you mean the part that the spring sits on? Yeah...the ZX2 version will work fine, and it'll come with the struts when you buy them.

Re: strut perches
No! The upper spring perches do NOT come with the struts. You have to purchase them on their own, they are something like C$80.00 (EACH).
