Ground Control tophats claim
I am interested in purchasing some ground control top hats for the front of my '90 Integra. I am currently running Weapon R coilovers and tokico struts (blue).
I want the front to drop lower, so I was in the market of buying tophats to lower it an inch and looking on GC's website, they claim that their top hats only fits on GC products ONLY.
Does anyone have GC top hats on other products beside Ground Control? Can their top hats fit on anything else besides GC?

GC top hats fit koni yellows, since Koni/GC is a common combined setup. AMR engineering makes top hats & extended top hats, you can find them in the marketplace under suspension and pm to see if their product fits your coilovers. Never used AMR, they're just the only name brand extended top hat other than GC

Re: Ground Control tophats claim
Thank you for your suggestions everyone. JuggerNaut-CTR, I was tricked into purchasing those blues and did not do my research on them. I did not know that they are a direct aftermarket replacements for stock struts.
civics4lyfe, I thank you for leading me to AMR. I had made several attempts today to try and contact them so I can learn more about their product, was willing to purchase a set, but no one returned my call. I guess they don't want my business. grumblemarc, sorry, but did some research on the EGay ones, and was not impressed with the reveiws some people had on other websites about those China made top hats. So I avoid such, and do not even think of going that direction.
As to building the stock top hats.......well, I'd really have to find a good welder around here that I can trust. For me to do that all in one day on my day off also would be quite a feat as this is my only means of transpo. If it remains down do to this issue, I'd be walking to work until the job gets done.

Top hats don't get you any lower. It will just give you a little more shock travel.
One of the ways to lower the front is to lower the shock into the shock fork more or buy somthing like koni yellows and put it on the lowest perch.
