Coilover (GC or whatever) hardware question.

[Chris Pronios]

George,

it's much harder to get a Monroe set down here than the Koni kit. And since
I will need to get the Koni upper seat anyway I might as well get the whole
package from them.

In any case, I have tried to find info regarding the Monroe set on the web
but to no avail. Do you know if this info is available anywhere ? (I exclude
the secret documents you use to cite the existense and part# in your message
:-)))

Going back to Koni, I checked their pdf catalog and found a strange
"missing" upper seat.
They list a whole bunch of parts for the 42mm set plus 2 complete sets:

80.0000.1 with a 25mm upper spring perch (perch part # 80.0000.0007)
80.0000.2 with a 40mm upper spring perch (perch part # 80.0000.0008)

However for 50mm they only list the Treaded Sleeve and the Lower Spring
Perch. Can you shed some light in this?

Do they have a 50mm Upper Spring Perch?
Do I use the same from the 42mm kit (not very likely)?
And if the answer to last question above is YES, what would you suggest, the
40mm or the 25mm?
