    As above I'm after r31 skyline rear top mounts for a coilover setup

    i know I can re drill holes and run s13 ones but if I can is like to avoid it.

    Hey d0g0k, you can use your rear's off your standard shocks instead, just have to file off the rubber around the top hat and refit / re-tension the springs.

    This is a rough idea of how.

    If you have coilovers already, disregard some of the R33 info bellow.
    I ended up using R33 Coilovers because it was what I had out of my previous write off.
    I used the front bottom part of the coilover and the front shock body / insert then I ended up using 8kg springs for the rear as 10kg is too much in my opinion.[

    I took out the old shocks and springs and took the top hats off,
    I then drilled out and ground off the rubber fused to the bottom of the top hat and used the rubber from the coilover.

    Then I simply cut off about 0.5 cm off of the metal fitting inside the bush (eye ) and cleaned it up to match the diff mounts.
