KYB/GC bit of help.
Bah, so I bought my ground control coilovers from someone on this forum. They said that these were previously on a kyb/agx setup so I figured that I would just need to buy the kybs/bumpstops and install.
Well apparently i do not have the aluminum ring that the coilover perches need in order to rest on the shock body correctly.
This is what i do not have:
Is there any other way to install these, or am i stuck trying to source some of these rings?
Also, does anyone know where i can buy just the rings?

So i finally contacted someone from GC that helped me out. This is what they wrote:
As near as I can tell, that is a correct tube for an agx adapter. I have no idea why there has never been an adapter in the tube, because that specific tube is only used with an adapter. The whole "kit" is -real- sketchy. The gold nuts are also not intended for a Miata as you probably know.
We can sell you the miata/agx adapters for $28 each.
So.. now i have to pay $120 for little aluminum rings? ****.
I guess i just need to stop buying used ****, as i keep getting the short end of the stick. With how much I'm going to be spending i may as well of bought a set brand new.
And since i live in a small town, i really doubt there is anywhere i could get these things made locally.
This sucks, Goddamnit.
/end rant.
