Default Xidas with ISC top hats

Hey yall,

About to upgrade to some Xidas, wondering if I should use the ISC top hats or not. I'm guessing they were designed to not need the extra travel. Any thoughts?

Haha sounds good, theyve worked very well for my current setup, which did not come with top hats.

I wouldn't use ISC top hats.

Just in general.

Read post #4, pick one and go. Xida aren't designed for extended top hats.

Bahurd nailed it. I gave him a cat.

NA/NB Xida are designed around OEM NB geometry. Use NB mounts from us or your own OEM, alternatively, our Billet Coaxial Mounts.

Not on an NB. But I have a set on my 1994, and the extra bit of travel was invaluable. Although they are pretty ugly, and were probably overpriced.

The design is sub-par compared to others on the market, was really the intention of my post.

Xidas don't need extended hats period, but even NBs with bilstein-based coilovers could use extended hats front AND rear.
