No.
Sucks to have taken absolutely too long to decide to get these and spent so much money for bling points and it still not do what you need it to. Should have just gotten the F&F if all you wanted to do was run slammed into the asphalt.

AMR has extended top hats for your coilovers? I hope Andy didn't sell them to you to just make a sale.

Why not? I would have. But I don't remember them being EXTENDED top hats. More like blinged out OEM replacements. Needed? No. Wanted? Yes indeedy!

Like I said, it must SUCK to drop major coin and not have your setup do what you needed it to. Now you have to drop MORE coin. Buy whatever top hats you want. They all perform the same function-from the Ebay ones to GC to AMR. Get them bling points.

idk i called ground control today they said somthing about it won't fit because of the spring some rubber thing sits on the spring and i forgot what its called but thats what he said why it wouldnt fit.. amr said it would work though..

i was a little confused because i read in another thread that the shock body might be too big to fit inside the top hat therefore making it pointless.. the guy at ground control said that the bump stop fits inside but not the shock body so who knows ill try the amrs
