I am about to pick up a set of STi struts and springs. My understanding is that the front top hats will work fine but the rears need an 04+ top hat for them to fit.

If you got 'em, I'd really appreciate it. Let me know what you want for them.

Thanks

hmmmm, how many miles on the STi struts? I would not go that route imho. STi Struts are not the most reliable piece of hardware. How much are u paying for them?

I know several people who have been less-than-satisfied with STi struts. Two of those folks have preferred the GR-2s actually.

Thanks for looking guys but I found some top hats!

Why were they "less-than-satisfied" with the struts? I was told they are pretty darn stiff which is what I am looking for. Combo'd with the springs lowers it just enough, and not too much.

Who found top hats? where?! I'm still looking
