Does this include the perches as well, or just springs and shocks?
If anyone's trying to decide between these and a set of MaxPeeDingrods, do not hesitate.

What do these need for perches (and whatever else) to be able to complete the swap assuming a stock NA as a starting point?
A set of Ground Control or similar threaded sleeves for (I believe) 2.5" springs and a set of NB upper mounts - steel only. I could confirm with a good picture of that top bushing stack.

Let me mess with the one I have here. I think ebay cheap sleeves will work.
Thanks for checking that, Stampie. I am helping my niece get info and Utah to Florida is a bit long to help measure and test fit.
Keith, I will help her get upper perches on her shopping list, though she is checking this thread, so that may already be taken care of.
Thanks again.

I should have been more clear. This is the factory perch but the sleeves above will rest on that same ring on the shock. I plan on cutting a notch for that thingy that sticks out.
"eBay cheap" will work as long as the dimensions are right. Different brands of shocks have different perch positions and ODs, so look for ones intended for Bilsteins.

I got some shocking things from UPS today. Thanks!

That was fast--hope you get the performance you are looking for.Let me know how it works out for you.

To be honest I've been planning this swap for a while. I even have a mixed NA/NB set of shocks here. I keep hitting the mental block of selecting springs. I figured $200 with good springs and now I have a matched set with my other set as spares? No brainer. Thanks again.
I used Ebay sleeves on my 2017 Challenge entry NB. They had no step on the inside so I created one with the Dremel rather than have them sit on top of the C-clip. I like the C-clip to be trapped inside the sleeves like a good set does it and making the step allowed the top of the sleeve to be flush with the top of the shock body.. Otherwise they worked fine, especially since the sleeves and springs were only $40 toward the budget
