These upper strut hats are used to relocate the top of the strut to maintain correct geometry when installing an '88 cradle in and '84-87 Fiero. They are also designed to convert your stock rear struts to adjustable coil-overs. You will need to remove the stock lower spring seats from the struts by cutting or grinding the welds on the strut body, and replacing them with adjustable coil-over spring seats and 2.5" springs. These come with polyurethane strut bushings and spring seat cushions.
Note: The coil springs are retained to the hats when jacking the car, the springs will not fall out of place or need repositioning after raising the car. The correct size threaded studs are welded in place like OEM for ease of assembly. Other designs use a large steel tube to keep the spring aligned which may cause noise and wear as the spring's coils rub on the steel. Our design uses polyurethane seats to assure that no moving coils will contact a metal surface.
