whos running extended top hats?


post pics. and if possible, post a pic of the top AND the bottom of the top hat.

 

wtf.

 

I don't really get it either.

Here's a crappy cell phone picture of my GC top hats. Mounted on Koni yellows.

 

post up a pic of the extended top hats on your suspension(if your running them). whats so hard to comprehend about that?


thanx man. but i was looking more for something like this pic i just got got from another site i posted this on:



i wanted to make my own and i needed to see the construction of one of these to get an idea of how to.

 

 

If these things werent so expensive I'd love to have a set.


Lemme get a few questions straight please:
They can be mounted on ANY shock/spring right? As in I can install them on a stock set up to lower it an inch??
And is Koni the only shock that can handle aggressive suspension set ups?

 

No they dont lower your car. They give you an extra 1" of travel. Its mostly for cars that are pretty low to get more useable travel out of the shock stroke. Koni Yellows have adjustable spring mounting perch clips that can lower the car about an inch. Theyre also rebuildable and can handle at least 500lb/in spring rates.

 

 

Why does everyone have their washers upside down??lol.

 

HOLY **** you have to be kidding me.. This whole time ive been thinking that lower your car another inch since they shove the shock deeper into the chassis.

Yeah the adjustable perch is AWESOME!!! I have some springs on my car that I love but dont go low enough. Now with the Koni's im pretty darn low and the ride is the same as it was before.

 

Because that's the correct way to have them.

 

 

I don't have any pictures of the process but I can say to not extend the fronts more than 1" in the front if using koni yellows. I Can pm you what I did if you want some more info.

 

for the washer that goes on top of the strut does it matter which way it goes on? Most times I see them curved upward but I put mine curved downward

 

there supose to curve upwards

 

heres mine..

 

hahaha qwk ^^^!!!

heres mine

 

lol it does the job...

 

Fo Sho but... on a real note this thread. it ghey! IMO

 

Can GC tophats mount on any shock or just the Koni shocks?

 

are the extended top hats necessary for the rear? i'm asking because i see a lot of cars that only have them up front. not sure why.
