Leo will be out of town at a race untill Monday the 18th, I'm sure he will respond then, just a heads up.

they will and they wont....

you will need to modify the coilovers slightly in 2 places to work with the LCR plates.
1. the bottom opening to the LCR strut rod adaptor is smaller than the strut rod diameter of the hotbits coilovers you have.
20.30mm and ~22mm respectively.
you will need to cut the top of the strut rod down on a lathe to fit into the LCR adaptor.

2. the upper spring plate for the LCR plates wil not fit directly into the upper spring perch/container of the hot bits coilovers. you will need to chamfer the inside of the hotbits perch/container on a lathe. 2mm in and 3mm down on an angle should work.

the treaded section of the hotbits coilovers works with the LCR nut.

hope that answers your questions.

oh and Leo, check your PMs!
