I believe that parts are same, the bracket on the top of the struts is the one that determine how low your car when aired out. (the red top on pic).
at least that what I know if you use Megan LP

Thanks for the response. Mine has that top tube bracket like twice the length with no extended top hat. Did you buy your bracket or make it? Length?

I bought from UAS, but they already pre-made the tube bracket, the extended top hat bracket on the other hand Zack (UAS) have to made custom. as far as for the length, I don't remember....sorry.
Maybe other member can chime in. BTW, what kind of struts you have? if you have megan, you know you have to cut it, right

Ok one more question, seems like my top piece is good. Anyone have the length on the bottom? Mine may be too long to lay out... Very irritating. Thanks again in advance

should be around 1-1 1/2 inches of tube rewelded on to lay the car out. most shop make so you can still drive when airred out so they don't get sued. taht out your rear and post I can help with design if you need it.
