Default In search of an HKS Hipermax IV GT part...

Ordered a set of Hipermax IV GT last year. Got back to the US and got to inspect the box. A bit beaten up. It turns out a part fell out during shipment that is needed for the rear struts to be mounted.

Does anyone know where I can source a rear strut "spacer?" I only have 3 out of the 4 required and would love to be able to install these. Pictures are attached for clarity. The "spacers" go in the bottom mounting holes of the rear struts to allow the bolt to fit securely.
Is there an actual name for this other than "spacer?"

Thanks for any assistance or referrals to vendors that could give me a hand. I already sent messages to some authorized HKS USA dealers.

Not familiar with HKS coilover assemblies, but here's a solution:

Go to your nearest hardware store and see if they have a caliper that can measure the thickness and diameters accurately

Buy whats called a "flanged sleeve bearing" in the appropriate size. This store sells all sorts of ****:

https://www.fastenal.com/products/fl...0Bearings%22|~

Should give you something close to what you need

if the size isn't exactly right some metal shop can probably grind it down a bit for you as needed

This is if you can't get thru to HKS

Awesome, appreciate the part name, man. Will do some searching. I have a caliper at home, so I have the measurements.

Fastenal is awesome. If you can't find what you need there, you can ask around for any local machine shops, bring them one of the three you have, and they can replicate it with very little issues.

Those are a pain in the *** to keep on the strut and put the bolt through FYI. I helped a friend put his GT IV's on his Z a year or so ago.
