Trying to get my bilstein escort cups installed and ran into a slight issue. The springs I used to have were 2.5", my new ones are 2.25", so my current upper spring hats won't work.

Where can I buy a new set? Or does anyone here have a set for sale?

TIA!

I got mine from Lindsey.

Lindsey's spring seats are for the stock upper strut mounts, I'm running Racer's Edge camber plates.

Reno, have a url for the hyperco ones? Are you using them with camber plates?

Check w/ Racer's Edge. Pretty sure Karl makes 2.25" upper hats too.

I didn't realize. Can you mill down the seat?

bump, so is Lindsey the only place I can buy the 2.25 hats for stock upper strut mounts? I need a set if anyone wants to sell.

Sorry for the thread necro but I have a question related to this comment....

I've got a set of Escort Cup struts installed in my car now with the stock strut bearing. I have a set of no-name camber plates on the bench I'd like to install. Do I need to get different spring hats? (Or - do I need to buy/acquire anything to install these things?)

reno808

racers edge has them as well

You will probably require some type of bushing to adapt the top of your shock to the camber plate bearing. Racers Edge and Lindsey both have the hats. Check with them they may have the bushings also.

So they're different spring hats?

Or do I not use spring hats at all? (Reason I ask that one: it seems most of the kits are either "includes spring hats for stock strut bearings", or the kit makes NO mention of a spring hat)

yeah if your using the hypercoil then the in dia is 2.5. thats how i run my escort cups
