Ahhh...well that is a problem then...you will need stock tophats....I actually have GC tophats I'm going to try on once I finally get some downtime. I'll gain extra suspension travel if they work like they are supposed to.

I have the V3's, I made some small adjustments from the recommended settings for track use. While stiffer they are very streetable, if I wanted to I could dial out a lot of rebound and make the street ride much more comfy, but I am lazy and like the ride the way it is now.

The car is very stable at high speeds, I think the Germans turn the shocks for the Autobahn?

Using the OEM tophat is better IMO than the Pillowball design, they tend to be clunky these don't make a sound.

As to performance, they have been very good at the track, no fading during 25 minute track sessions. The JICS I previously had would get a little wallowy after about 10-15 minutes.

just my .02.
