Profab Coilover

Has anyone used a ProFab coilover kit? I am missing parts, and am not sure that I have the right parts. Does anyone have pictures of what it it supposed to look like (the top of the spring assembly)? I have been waiting on 'spacers' for over 3 weeks, and today I got 1. Yes. 1. I'm sure I won't need both sides, right? Sure, makes sense to me. Is this 'spacer' just a piece of 1.75" tube?

Can anyone tell me what I am supposed to have, and how it is supposed to be put together? I have no directions, no diagrams, and can't get a straight descriptive anything out of them.

as far as i know it's tubing. i believe it's very similar if not identical to pa's and the pictures on both pa's and profabs website are identical.

www.paracing.net and www.profabracing.homestead.com

you didn't get an inventory list with the setup?

my kit came with a blue sleeve, roughly 5 shim style rings, upper/lower locking support ring that the spring sits on. 250lb springs the blue top caps that the spring supposedly pushes against towards the strut and then the little spacers. i'm sure it doesn't help much but you don't get alot.

i would highly recommend investing in something like this and a strut tower bar if you haven't already.

art morrison makes these particular versions but you can find others. roughly $50 for the pair and help to distribute alot of the pressure. they mount right underneath your strut tower stock, doubling as a spacer and proper upper spring support. really made a difference in the ride after i installed them.

BMR will only sell the whole coilover kit as well. I got what I needed from PA Racing. They took care of me, and I got the parts next day.

Any thoughts on what strut tower bar to use? It's a carb motor. I'd like on that does not have the swivels on it, that seems to defeat the purpose to me.
