I bought a used set of Koni's and they didn't come with the spring seat adapters. These are the things that sit on the circlips on the Koni's so the OEM spring seat can rest on them. For some reason, they look too small to have the OEM spring seat fit on them. Can anyone who has worked with these verify if they are the right spring seat adapters?



They don't appear to look like the ones in the FAQ:


Lastly, does anyone know where the concave looking washer goes that is pictured next to the nuts on the right of this pic.

 

It is hard to tell from that pic...but if they press into the spring seat then then they should work. Can you post a pic of both sides and also one not looking straight down.

The little concave washers didn't get used on my install.

I've also just installed a set of Koni's.
And I also did not use that concave washer, no need.
The OEM rubber bushings have metal plates.

The spring seat adapters look a bit small in outside diameter.
But if the fit snug into the OEM spring seats....
Make absolutely sure they will not push through!
The larger outside diameter wil prevent that.
IMO the Koni set should have come with the wide diameter spring seat adapters.

Good luck with the install.

 

That definitely does not look like the ones that came in my box. Those have a wedding cake shape (two stacked rings). The one you have looks like the upper surface is curved.

 

Thanks for the replies. I received these as a used set, and they did not look like the picture. Thanks again for confirming.

 

I am still working with the guy I bought the Koni's from and he sent 2 of the spring seat adapters. He said this was a full set, is that correct? Shouldn't there be a total of 4 adapters that are the same? i.e. front and rear

 

Yeah, there should be 4 perch rests and you didn't get them. If this tool (liar) doesn't supply them to you, you can get them straight from Koni for some money. I bought some used koni's once and they didn't come with the nuts so I ordered them from Koni with no problems.

Those concave washers are meant to go under the top nuts.

Those concave washers are meant to be used on the rubber bushings that have no washers themselfs.
The S2000 bushings have washers vulcanised at/on them.
As you can see here:
(borrowed pic too)

 

You actually don't dissagree. You don't understand what I'm saying. What goes under the top nuts? The washer... What goes on top of the drilled out rubber bushings? The washer and then the top nuts.
