I believe he has a thread in the marketplace on here. He is a small company so it can take time for him to get back to ya.

Okay yea im just anxious to install my koni yellows and gc's I'm tired of bouncing around on my Blox springs lol, I would love gc extended tophats but if I can maybe get all four OEM style ones from amr for your the price of one pair of gc extended hatsI'd rather do that. Trying to keep the price down as much as I can.

I've seen those just didn't read of anyone having any experience with em. I did read one person who said the koni struts didn't fit inside the bushings as the strut shafts were too thick. Does anyone have any experience with these?

You have to press out the center bushing sleeve and press in the one supplied with your Koni shocks. You will have to do that to any top hat. All it takes is a socket and 5 minutes, they are just held in by the rubber. Some of them can be removed by hand.

And those top hats have nothing that could be wrong with them. It's a piece of machined aluminum with 2 studs sticking out the top. The aluminum is the same basic **** the GC top hats are made of, and if you think the studs are crap then get some better ones. Either way, they are 1/2 the price, and come in any color you want.

The ones in there seem like poly. Not sure if OEM ones would fit or not...
