Group N Top Hats - 02-03 Fitament in rear - $150

I am selling a set of 4 Group N top hats. The fronts should fit any WRX/STI 02 to 07. The rears will only fit 02-03. I may be wrong on fitament, please do your research. This set was fitted to an 02 WRX.

$150 obo. Available for pick up in SF, both Sunset & downtown.

Actually, I believe the rear fitment is more based on what springs people intend on using. If you're using springs designed for the Bugeyes then these would be the correct Top Hats to use for the rear to allow proper fitment. They should still work in the '04-'07 models as well as the '04-'07 Top Hats bolt up perfectly fine to the '02-'03's.

The problem lies in if you have a MY2004-2007 and want to use these rear top hats you have to use bugeye specific springs and struts. Now if you were using bugeye struts but 04-07 springs you'd need 04-07 rear top hats, as well as strut spacers which you get from TiC.

The only issue really depends on what springs you want to run. There are plenty of Bugeye specific springs.

Koni's have Bugeye specific struts
2 x 8610 1351
2 x 8610 1408

Even the Tokico D Specs were designed based off of the Bugeye struts (i.e. no strut spacers should be required).

KYB AGX's also have Bugeye specific fitment (although either of the above 2 choices would be better struts to go with at this point).

So you could pair these top hats, Bugeye specific struts & then something like the Swift Sport Springs.

https://www.i-club.com/forums/norcal...-seats-241180/ - Selling Swift Wagon springs

If someone wanted to run that kind of setup on their 04+ then they could do it as everything should bolt up, but the entire setup is completely dependent on the specific springs someone chooses to run.

How many miles were the tophats used for?
They don't look any different from the stock.
What markings show that it's Group N? I'm still learning about them...

I know that it's your first post. Please attention to the date of the last post to get an idea if it should be replied to.

I bought them and they weren't group-n at all. They were stock as I found out with the pink stripes. Group-n's have a white stripe FYI.
Plus the rears weren't for 02-03 but for 04-07.
