In other news. There really is no way for me to preload GC coils is there? And I really want preload.

There is, but you may sacrifice lows.

[J. Evins]

GC top hats will fit other coilovers.... but they won't be beneficial if your coilover has a thicker strut. You may have to machine it a little if they do (but they probably don't).

You're using a full coilover right? Just compare your strut to a stock strut or compare the strut diameter to the diameter of the diameter inside the top hat.

SHOULD be fine.

As long as your suspension utilizes an OEM style top hat it will fit.... its just the strut may still bottom out around the factory position if it won't clear the inner diameter of the GC top hat.

Well the way I see it, the top of the shock (exposed part) is pretty long, and the chance of the shock housing touching the extended top hat is not possible as the spring fully compressed wouldn't allow that to happen...

Im thinking if the od is slightly bigger then the hole in the tophat I can just drill it out to suit..

Anyone know what the diameter of a bc shock is? LOL

Could you explain how that would be possible?

[NickBroderick]

Snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too much snow, actually.

Going driving in a bit, we shall see how the roads are.

Well. As an example, I had to release the preload On my BC's to achieve the lows I did, but now I am going to retain it with extended top hats..

If you got the exact size springs though, you shouldnt have to do any of that, and GC do custom springs.

So Im an idiot, but thats common knowledge.

[Kielan]

What do you mean exact size spring?
