spring adjusters

Does anyone out there know  where I can get a better set of  spring adjusters than the ones from 600? Fine thread would  be nice also .

As far as I know, all the coilover kits use the same threads. Some use tape or hose clamps to keep them from moving (if that is the issue you are having),

I know AFCO makes a coil over kit for the 1.875" spring. I don't know if it will fit the Bilstein shock though, as all these shock manufacturers feel the need to make everything differently.
They retail for $78.99 each

I found AFCO's new site to be a PITA. Anyways, I was watching a youtube video and they came out with new quarter midget shocks and the adjuster is a click type that clicks in every 1/4 turn. I had a look to see if they made a larger version, no luck.

I also was just floating around coleman racing products website last night and found shrink on shock thread sleeves. Heat them up, slip over shock, cool. No worry about the threaded part moving when making changes. There isnt enough website info on what shocks they will fit though so an email or call would be needed.

Ken Joyce has a design much the same as the 600 ones but has slits machined down the threads so you can tighten the allen key onto a flat surface and not onto the thread itself. Advanced racing shocks also have the same indexing sprung ball bearing as we used them on our midget. Problem is the thread is on the body of shock so unless you can find an old set to chop up?
