Yes, that works. A few people have done that already with their LGT struts with Koni inserts, which are the same as the 2.5i struts (there are rumors the 2.5i struts are valved a little softer, but the overall design and measurements are the same). You just need spacers to make it work.

 

That's the route Im taking. I already have the Koni's sitting under my bed, and the Group N top hats sitting in my closet with the spacers.

Thanks again N.sane

But do you know specifically why the Spec.B top hats will not fit on the 2.5i struts?

Hi N.Sane.

Thanks for that.

Do you know why there not interchangeable?

Will the STI Group N top hats fit on the 2.5i struts?

Hi,

Can the top hats on the '07 2.5i struts be used with the struts of an '07 LGT Spec.B?

Apparently the Spec.B top hats are different and do not allow aftermarket springs to reach there full specified lowered height. For example Rallitek springs are 1.1" lowered springs on a GT and 2.5i but on a Spec.B they only lower the car by 0.9" as per the rallitek website:

I want to use my top hats with a set of Spec.B struts that are for sale, so I can get the full 1.1" drop but I need to know if the tops hats from the 2.5i fit the Spec.B struts.

Any help would be appreciated.
