take measurements of the mounts and strut length. call up stance (the coilover maker) and see what coilover kit would have the closest dimensions. modify accordingly. you'd obviously want a shorter strut, though. how much shorter? not sure.
i sent a message to kuntzie about his. i believe he bought a set of BC meant for a lexus and modified the mounts.
edit: this is the information you want.
look through that album. he shows how he modified the fronts.
he made a new upper portion of the top plate on the camber plate and then welded on new tabs on the bottom to match up with the GP suspension.
edit 2: the BC coilovers he has are toyota C-17 for 7-11 camry (without rear mounts), MSRP: $1250. you'd probably get them for around $800 brand new from ebay or a rep.

here they are for under $1000 from a reputable company. you could probably get them a fair amount cheaper after searching around.

CONGRATS.
YOU JUST SAVED...
five dollars
this isn't about a cost savings. it's about having a set of coilovers on the car that are actually setup to perform well instead of being some single adjustable, lose travel, stock strut pieces of garbage.
I was kidding.
My BC's were alright though...for a short amount of time.
While the structure of them were generally good...the struts/shocks themselves were just basically junk. Might have had something to do with the fact they were ran all the way down, but I still wasn't impressed with the ride at all, at any setting.
I figure making your own would kind of dictate the quality...
Thanks for digging that up Nick. Looks like some good stuff. The custom bottom mount I couldn't do. I could probably do the top mount. But I'd rather use a stock body and do a shorter shock insert.
yeah we are looking at the Strange stuff. with just their lower sleeve/collar, you can weld your own ears on...even laying back the strut for more room for rubber...
Of course I know people that can weld. Finding someone that can weld something like that I don't know though. My other reason for wanting to do a shock insert is I can use something like a Bilstein or a Koni that I know is a quality piece. Last I heard BC coils weren't all that great.
Anyone know the part number for 7 inch coil sleeves that'll fit on agx's
