David what adjusters did you use from coleman (part number)? And also whats the length of the spring you are using and the spring rate?

Your coilover set up looks really good.

Thanks

Springs = QS1 12-350 from Jegs. (12inch spring)
Coil Over Kit = PN: 420-701 from Coleman for Monroe Shocks. (7inch sleave)

How tight a fit are the sleeves on the strut body? Would this also fit the Koni struts as I believe they are somewhat larger in diameter.

I had a couple thou. clearence. Not enough to get a large oring in, but enough to get 3-5 full wraps of electrical tape around the strut body. Sensi Tracks OD are 1.95 and the ID of the sleave is like 2.05.
