I was wondering which top hats did you end up using in the front for your kw coils? I remember you posting about the SC top hat being too big in the front a few years back.

What you would need is the supra front or the kyb, moog or oem, rear sc300 are fine and will fit.

Thanks for the reply. It seems that locating the front strut mounts for the supra is impossible now. I can only find the rears for sale from the dealer or aftermarket manufactures.

I tried searching for the part number and I can't find it online. I looked it up on the KYB site and their part number for the SC is "SM5564". Hopefully these are the same ones.
