Does the GC Top Hat make the bottoming of my strut go away? I have Tokico Blues and Ground Control Coilovers? I had the Eibach Sportlines on with a great ride now my struts are bottoming out! Any help will be great!
While not a garuntee it does give you an additional 1"-1 1/2" travel so will defanitley help
I have them in all four corners with my GC coilovers and standard KYB shocks. Without them my shocks would have been dead a long time ago. My car is lowered only about 1.5" so to the shocks they function as if they are not lowered. Without them the kyb’s would not absorb as well and two things would occur; more likely to bottom out, and wear out quicker.
Thanks for the input ordering a set of GC!
Currently installing the GC top hats and will let everyone know how they work and if the was any difference!
After the install drove around and definitely a much better ride! Anyone thinking of doing its worth the money
what is the function of top hats? do the give you more clearance or just create a barrier between the control arm and tower?
24mm of additional shock travel.
You can get the knock offs also, ive had them on my car for two years no problems
It allows your strut to work close to normal like its not lowered
Really? Been looking for somebody who’s ran them. How are the bushings holding up?
I’d stay away from the ebay ones, heard bad things. Namely the studs which attach the top hat to the vehicle.
Oh and so would I. Just curious for reference purposes… I would assume so, I just took a look at them and the first thing I noticed was the poor quality of the studs. I plan on making myself a set of billet ones down at the shop…
