Default Top hats for my tokico illuminas??

I drive a 00 civic coupe with tokico illuminas and gc coilovers. Are there top hats available for these shocks to provide more spring travel and a better ride?

Do you mean Pillow Ball's?

If so...just run a Google search now that you have the correct name for the part. Hopefully, something useful will come up.

Good luck.

Well I'll be damned, hahaha. I apologize guys, I had no idea that they existed. At least I didnt spread misinformation or say that he's wrong, haha. Gezzuzz...I wanted to take a second to recognize you for giving great information lately. I've noticed quite a few posts that you've helped out alot with. Apparently I'm in a great mood tonight giving props to many that deserve it, so I might as well say the same to you.

Proceeeed.

I love my GC suspension but, the top hats, while useful are kind of crappy. I don't regret buying them but, while installing them the captive bolts spun in position so, I had a hard time getting the top hats bolted down. You might want to see if someone else offers something similiar.

i have no complaints on my koni/GC setup. rides great, good performance, and the top hats are very useful for tuning suspension stiffness between DD, autocross, whatever u want. one thing that sucks is my gsr strut bar wouldnt fit anymore

The koni's give you the adjustment, not the top-hats. I'll be honest, with my stiff springs, the top hats were more of a "bling" purchase than performance.
