Is this in response to my post?

Yes, I can use stock 02-03 setups, as long as I use a rear GC tophat.

My issue is (and I'm pasting this from the other tophat thread...) that I have a really nice set of Apexi N1 Type V coilovers on my RSTi (GC Chassis) in 8k/6k variety and I found two sets in 7k/4k variety for sale, but they are for 02-03 cars...

I wanna see what it takes to make those tophats fit the GC.

If two of the bolts are the same distance as the GC bolt holes, then I only need to elongate one hole and the strut will still be centered properly...

If all 3 are different, then I have to buy a different top hat.

Depending on the price of the aftermarket tophats that fit, I may choose a different option, ie koni inserts.


Thanks,
