    So the story goes I need to replace the terrible bouncy overdue suspension. I found a good deal on struts and springs already mounted and ready to go but they are from a 05 rs. Will these fit the 99 suspensions?

    From what searching I've done, it seems like they will but the only contingency I find is either the height of the shock or the top hat. Anyone with suspension transplant expirence please chime in!!!

    Thanks in advanced

    Yeah. So I would have to use an 05 rs top hat? They come fully assembled out of an rs so I would assume the backs would bolt right in and the fronts I would put the OBS top hat on the assembly

    I mean the rears would need obs hats BC the bolt pattern is different where it bolts to the car. I'd wait for more to chime in

    if they are the same as the 02-03 the fronts bolt right in, the backs you'll need obs tophats and a special spacer
