^ GC claims that those tophats they sell only work with their products ... which i'm guessing probably means they only work with 2.5" id springs. Isn't that what you had ur perches machined to?
The GC tophats also buy you some extra shock travel cuz they were made to offset the lenght of the universal bodied Koni Sports. Prolly not a big deal w/ the bilsteins but couldn't hurt i suppose.

I'm fairly certain that GC uses 2.5" springs and if IIRC the GC marketing material says that the mounts only work with the GC system.
The Bilstein springs and spring perchs are set for 2.75" (70mm) id so the GC tophats may not work with them.

Stock tops hats work fine.

stock hats with no extra perch or anything. the springs wont really move much specially if you have the tenders holding it in place. you wont need all that stoke length. you will bottom out your shocks before ever fully compressing those springs.
if i come into some free money i would do spherical but i'm in no rush to.

I can finally feel what the car is doing grip wise. It was very neat to put the rears in first to get a comparison between the stock bilstein and revalved bilstein.
