Just found this article on the MotoIQ website, and thought I would repost this here. This is for the 8th gen, but I am sure it will install on the 9th with 8th upper rear isolators.

Edit: is the front coilover compatible with the 9th gen.... anyone know for sure?

front struts will bolt in, but because the 8ths had different mounting points for the sway bar, you'll have to run without a front sway.

Hmm... I wonder if the tubing is thick enough to TIG a bracket on higher, a tack at a time?

might be, but from what i've seen, with the length of the sway bar end link, such a bracket would have to be somewhere along the threaded portion of the strut. that's why most 9th gen specific coilovers use an adjustable threaded link to attach the sway bar ends.

if you really want that setup over a 9th-gen specific one, you could probably order an extra set of the threaded spring seat collars, and fabricate a bracket to tig weld to that.
