Racks digested the next day, forgot the camera down.
In general, in order to climb into his native Bilstein from a dozen, it was necessary to raise the native thread by 4 cm, it was twisted with a native nut.

All collected while the ride, the muzzle does not rattle at all)

in general, I went through the rear suspension, rearranged the cartridges from the front to the rear (I did not like it on the front due to the fact that the rebound stroke was too small, because I raised the thread, and it was already breaking through on the middle bumps, I decided to put it on the front of the contract, on karplase chose live ones) I had to put a piece of pipe at the bottom, and order glasses with thread for a turner up and screw it with a Bilstein nut, the stock is almost the same in length, it went a little like a brisk ride, worse than before. The rear levers are also contractual, they looked in a large pile and found the right ones.
On the one hand, there was not a native bolt in the trunnion and did not pull out, I had to cut and buy a new trunnion assembly. I also changed the guide bushings in the calipers. All now, the whole hodovka has been sorted out, I got worn out decently, thanks to my friends, they helped out every day)
