On the front I do, gonna get a set for the rear sometime probably around xmas. why would you dump the car, decrease strut travel then get rid of the things that allow you to keep a bit more of that strut travel? keep them..

more than likely your control arm smacking the strut tower.. top hats are used to prevent struts bottoming out.. unless your spring rates are stupidly soft and you really are smashing the shocks. I have extended top hats and I just smack my control arms every now and then.


this isin't the suspension discussion forum, let's get out of their thread and if you want to discuss further you're more than welcome to pm me. But let's stop cluttering.

you know what, i hate to say it but you if you want the front to tuck on the lip just like the back you have to cut you shock towers and reweld them because its not the top hats that are hitting. i hear people with that question all the time i and if you want that noise to go away and tuck just like the back "you have to cut shock towers" just my 2 cents good luck
