I am planning to install a set of TEIN Wagn coilovers that came from an 05 Wagon into my 04...do i need to replace all tophats or could i use my stock ones and be ok. If i have to replace, do i have to get all 02 top hats for the front and rear?? Will 02-03 sedan tophats work fine??

Any help on this?? Thanks a lot.

 

i believe you need to swap your 04 rear tophats w/ 02-03 rear tophats. fronts are the same for all years. Let us know how it turns out... I'm interested in doing the same for my 04 wagon

 

thanks doodoo...will keep you posted, do you know if i can just purchase TEIN top plates and use those instead of top hats??

 

the pillow ball uppermount? I think so, but not 100% sure. I'd call gruppe-s or MPJ to ask before ordering.

From what I read, the tein pillow ball upper mounts are supposedly pretty noisy. Same with using tein wagons w/ the group N sti mounts.

 

i wouldn't want noise though, so you are saying that im better off using the stock 02 rear top hats if i don't want noise??? that's odd considering that these are aftermarket parts, i would think they would be better than stock. Thanks again....now if only someone can sell me their stock 02 rear top hats hehe..been looking for a set for quite a while now. Don't really want to go to the dealer cause they are expensive....

Thanks man
