just got an email form them and apparently they are weld on, think ill go a set of these, not mush more than the t3 ones when you add the overseas freight for them, plus having the HSD stuff here in aus makes it alot easier for asistance,spare parts etc

When you say bearing top, do you mean thrust bearing?
What colour are they? How long till you get them? And how much will they be?
Cheers!

Here is a picture. Only the one colour, thrust bearing in the tops on the far right, all enclosed. 10mm diameter hole, has enough meat to machine out to suit larger diameter insert threads.

Metal sleeves, sold in pairs, come with spanners.

Will most likely have pricing tomorrow.

$280 for Thrust Bearing kit - includes 2 x thrust bearing spring tops, 2 x coilover sleeves and 2 spanners. The hole in the tops suit a 10mm diameter thread insert. There is enough material there to machine these out to suit larger diameter inserts.

$220 for the stock kits - 2 x Raised Spring hats (no thrust bearings) + 2 x coilover sleeves + 2 spanners.

i came accross these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... MEWAX%3AIT the price is right but there not made to be welded on and the ring is not supplied, the threads are alloy, can you weld alloy threads to steel struts?

Those ones on ebay US actually have a rubber top hat believe it or not. If you buy them you'll be kicking yourself.

Trust me I bought a set to check them out before getting mine made, and ended up giving them away.
