Guys if you think about how it fits together instead of just 'someone told me' it may be clearer
02-03 rear springs are straight (same coil dia top and bottom) whereas 04-07 rear springs taper to a smaller dia at the top. The rear upper spring perch is formed by the tophat so the spring year and the rear tophat year need to match. Once you've determined what style rear tophat you need (based on the springs) you need to make sure the struts mate to that. Due to slight differences in the top portion of the rear strut shaft it has been found that 02-03 struts need a spacer under the tophat to fit tight with 04-07 rear tophats. |
