Default GC Top Hats on Tokico Shocks

I'm planning on getting some GC Top Hats but I was looking on the site that they offer stem sizes 10mm and 12mm. Which one of these would fit the Tokico shocks' stem? Thanks in advance.

And, if someone has two of these for sale pm me interested...thanks

that was fast, thanks Tyson

i was researching also that people have used these on skunk2 coilovers, and since i have some omni slipovers im guessing it should work also since they're both similar products

i measured the piston diameter on the rear shocks, not sure if it will be the same for the front shocks but it ended up being about 14 mm

piston diameter is different than the top mount diameter. measure at the top of the top mount nut.

see how it slims down.
