Rear Damper Top Hat

[canasion35]

Does anyone know where to source these? I’m looking to find a rear damper top hat (2) but cannot seem to source ANY within the US without buying new dampers.

Looking to install a set of coilovers and need a set of rear top hats this weekend locally in FL. Any ideas?!

Why can't you reuse the OEM top hats and transfer them over?

I have the tein coilovers on now and they come with top hats already - I sold my OEM stuff about a year and a half ago now

I believe they have them on aliexpress for around $30.

I ended up ordering them - sadly takes 3 weeks to come in though!

You might look into dampers from www.rockauto.com? I wanted to replace my front top hats and this was the cheapest way to do it, and only took several days to come in.

I was thinking about that. I was going to resort to it but I found a seller in china (I know) that had the rears for sale. I have my KW dampers sitting on the floor while I have my Teins in the car until they come in (1 more week )

Looking for top hats for all 4 corners on my MPP coilovers. Are you suggesting buying the 4 assemblies would get me the pieces I would want?

See attached cart from rockauto. Look right? Seemed too good to be true all 4 shock assemblies for this price.

The aftermarket/race ones are overpriced and likely increased NVH.

I found the rear top hats for $24 each on Amazon!

Given the language about the tools required to swap the rear upper shock mounts, I am concerned they expect you to swap the old too hats onto the rears.

But yes, that is what I used for the front!

You’re right. The rears are damper only with no upper mount included.

Can you share what you got? I wouldn't mind having a pair for next time I swap suspension.

I suppose they've increased the price to $26 now.
