Default EG/DC vs CRX top hats

I've been searching google for the answer to this but haven't really come up with any conclusive answers. Hopefully someone here knows this for a quick answer.

Basically, are EG/DC top hats (upper strut rod mount) the same as CRX top hats? Is the bolt patter the same? Same diameter ? Etc. Basically would you be able to use an EG top hat on a CRX? If they are so different that it won't work, what is different about them.

Thanks!
Ian

88-00 all the same.

Aftermarket: if you don't want/need GC hats Skunk2 has also a nice set.

I'm kinda looking for something like the gc top hats but not extended. Stock height. I've seen the skunk2 top hats with their coilovers, but not separate. If you have a link for this I'd appreciate it. I'd rather have an aftermarket top hat as it's better suited for use with gc/ERS springs. I don't need extended hats for the front since I have koni race shocks that are shortened.

Set of four. PU bushings and stem for 12mm so that fits your Koni's. Spring rubber included. Probably will get them myself for the rear.

Yea I realized it was a link right after I posted that. I tried to amend my reply but the site was down lol.

And only wanting 2 isn't being difficult. Why buy 4 when I'm only gonna use 2? I'll just have to call skunk2 to see if they will sell just 2.
