Default Ohlins Coilovers

These are great coilovers.

Only question is how good are the OEM tophats?

I'm having no problem at the moment, so I presume it will be ok, though..

All coilovers don't come w/ the top hat.
OEM top hats from the stock shocks are re-used.
You're fine.
Those coilovers

I have the same coilovers and I'm researching pillowball upper mounts. Looks like you are running swift springs. What are the specs?

free length?
i.d.?
rate?

I'm switching to 60mm springs, and I'm trying to find pillowball upper mounts that have a 60mm seat and Ohlins/OEM shaft diameter.

Any help or knowledge on spring id's and shaft diameter of common coilovers is welcome.

(edit) looks like you have the Japanese version, which I think just uses a different body which allows preload adjustability independent of height. Probably still a MCJ insert.
