Just need to cut the old spring platform off dress the strut down and then weld the sleve in place. The top hat which comes with the kit is also perfect for the job!

I read that someone in here is using those compbrake sleeves in Ur struts but I dont know what is ur strut outer dimension? S2 strut outer dimension is 55mm and compbrake specs says sleeves inner dimension is 54.22mm. So if sleeves fit, they are tight at least?

I have already seen DIY coilovers, Aaron styled thread and I have been also in contact with the A-1 racing. Good thread!

Found some pictures of the struts I ghettto converted many years ago using Compbrake sleeves. I never followed it through since KW had just released the V1 Inox and once I added up the cost of damper inserts, springs, perches, helpers etc was cheaper to buy the KWs and have a much nicer item that won't rust.
