if you knew what they were for then you would know what it depends on

to give strut shaft more travel when u are lower instead of bottoming out.

so now tell me is it worth it or not.

i'm low on agx adjustable and the ride is rough.

If you're hitting your bumpstops, it will help. If you just have new or really stiff springs, it won't help. It does take a while for your springs to "break in". I got Ground Controls on my hatchback and at first it was a bit stiff, but they softened up a little after a few thousand miles.

What size tires do you have? 16s or larger seem to ride harsh to me, 14s or 15s ride comfortably.

How low are you? Are you like an inch below stock, or are you scraping everywhere you go?

It shouldn't be bouncy. I'm not sure how well your shocks take to stiff springs, but maybe they're shot. And you're not going to get a soft ride with Skunk2s, they are some stiff springs.

immajackuup

nah my shock aren't blown its bouncy because skunk2 coilover are stiff as hell,but still should i get extend top hat?

thumper64

If you're hitting bump stops, maybe. In the directions for installing my Koni Yellows, it said to cut the bump stops in half. You could try that first. Otherwise, you could buy extended hats from someone, or I should go in the business of making extended top hats...

immajackuup

yes i did cut the bump stop and no i'm not bottoming out i think.
