I keep watching your posts on coil over since I want to do the same thing. I'm sure someone on here has made that conversion.

Re: What is the outside diameter of your coilovers

I think I hear crickets.....
I have a bit of room so the next time I see some at the car swap I'm going to pick them up and make them fit. I guess the only risk will be spring rate being way off...or blown shocks, or a bent piston rod, maybe a leak.
My head is starting to hurt.

Well the crickets have answered.

I just measured mine and they look to be 3 1/2 inches in diameter. Some of us have to get home before we can measure things for you impatience builders.lol
