Coilover Part #
Ok I have searched till my eyes are sore!!!About a year (maybe two)ago someone grooved their stock shocks and found a coilover sleeve kit and springs for the front of the car.I remember the post even specified the colours of the parts were blue and yellow with the part numbers.
Anyone remember the post?

Vaguely familiar...try a search (advanced search, select C4 parent directory so it searches tech and general) with the keyword "Afco".
They are the brand that sells blue and yellow coil over pieces. I remember the poster spent about a quarter of the going rate for EM / Doug Rippie / QA1 versions.

I'm pretty sure it is just one groove. The coil over kit comes with a snap ring. The snap ring goes into the groove, and this supports the sleeve. The inerior of the sleeve is not threaded.
