    *** W-BODY COIL-OVER UPPER SPRING PERCH ***

    Look what I made up... Some upper coil over spring perches/mounts! I know there were a bunch of people a while back that were looking for these, and since they don't seem to be made anymore, here these are.

    If there's interest, I have the ability to mass-produce these.

    As you see, they're similar to the TDC mounts Josh (TurboSedan) from gmwbody.com had on his car, but these were designed a bit differently so they fit snug into the OEM-style strut mount. These have to be hammered into the OEM strut mount with a rubber mallet, or you can set it in there and slam the whole setup against a desk to wedge it in there. It comes out of the strut mount (if needed) with some slight prying from a screwdriver. IMO they should work better this way because they won't be resting on the springs, but we'll see....

    Those look great for replaceing the monoleaf with rear coil overs. That thread on gmwbody was what convinced me to do coil overs on my front end. I didn't like the plastic cup or aluminum washer other people had so I modified a spring mount to fit on top of the strut inside the stock mount, very similar to the style u have there. How many sets do you have and how much will they be going for?

      As of right now this is the only set. If I can get an interest in them, they can very easily be mass-produced. I don't have any price until I can get some interest in them, as of right now I'm not even sure what these cost me to make. Regardless, the more I can make the cheaper it'll be per set.

            Looks like it's going to be roughly around $50/pair since there's pretty much 0 interest in these things
