    I would think most will be sized for a 2 1/4" or 2 1/2" ID spring. Either will work with the 2.5" springs. You want to make sure the "hat" that holds the top of the spring is sized correctly for the Koni shock shaft.

      I think that part number is the sleeve only, no adjuster.

        My car had ebay sleeves. I recall the issue was more getting sleeves that fit the shock body, especially since the Konis are a smaller diameter. Lots of online talk about rubber o-rings to take up the slack.

        The Bilsteins are bigger than the Konis so I got pointed to the an ebay set for a Celica that ended up fitting the shocks perfectly. No problem with 2.5" springs.

                Ditto, I have never seen four koni sleeves and adjusters that cheap.

                  NB hats are the cheap way to go. Would have been a little easier to start with NB shocks but if you didn't I have to hook for you.

                      That site isn't particularly helpful with the info on those. Maybe do a search for the two Koni parts numbers in those listings?

                          I used cheap ebay sleeve/adjusters on the front of my RallyCross RX-7 for a long time. Included in the kit were some orings that took up the space between the strut body and the ID of the sleeve. I never had an issue with them.

                            I ended up ordering http://www.summitracing.com/parts/aaf-all64146

                            They are for a 2 inch o.d. shocks and my shocks are 1.6 inch od but Im sure that wont be a problem in the case.
