BC gold top hat replacement options?

kuroneko · Post by **kuroneko** » Sun Aug 26, 2012 3:38 pm

Hi everyone,

What are the local options for changing the top hats on my BC golds so I can lower the car a little bit more?

Nick with the white NA6 told me of another way to lower the BCs more that doesn't involve swapping top hats, but haven't really looked into that option more.

Cheers

I dunno if my bc golds are different to everyone else's or what, I managed to go this low by just removing the locking collar on each one and running 180 long springs in the front

here was mine with standard top hats
i could have used it every day like this

this pic was just after i made a set of tophats for taryns miatasaurus

i used the rear tophats in the front then made some extended hats for the rear
they look like this

i think they go low enough as is

I have Nicks old ones.. His way is not the best way of doing it IMHO would rather have Coles modded top hats

Ah, thanks for the replies.

Cole, I want your wheel to fender gap, looks really good. But I'm running 15's at the moment. I think your suggestion might be the best way to go!

Hey Cole

Gary here, the guy that purchased the Nardi steering hud from you, I think me, Ryan and likely Ash will be interested in getting these top hats, are you able to make them for front and rear??

Thanks
Gary

ok here goes

please start with your name / how many you want / and the height you want (Remember you will have a bump stop up inside there too)
eg:
sprsta / 4 / 2@25mm 2@30mm

Angreal · Post by **Angreal** » Tue Oct 16, 2012 6:53 pm

Okay I'll start. Furai 4x as much height reduction as physically possible

(I'm happy with my current height)

Furai · Post by **Furai** » Tue Oct 16, 2012 9:00 pm

Yeah can I get some 3" ones?

sprsta · Post by **sprsta** » Tue Oct 16, 2012 9:14 pm

Maybe i could cut the tops off your strut towers and weld some spacers in. haha

remember guys, these wont make you any lower on their own
they are more to help keep your springs captive and help keep suspension travel with shorter springs

hlau028 · Post by **hlau028** » Thu Oct 18, 2012 1:30 pm

I think me and Ryan will be interested in 2 top hats each at 40mm

sprsta · Post by **sprsta** » Fri Nov 02, 2012 10:16 pm

Well i am back now.
My first run will be of 12 so that everyone who has expressed interest will get a set or pair.

i will do the first run at 40mm for Gary and Ryan and whoever else wants some

are you still wanting any chris?

cheers
