do ground controls now come with an aluminum top hats?

i used to own a set of gc coilovers, but had rubber top hats. on there site, where they have a sample pic of their coilovers its says "aluminum top hat." do they now come with aluminum top hats? if they do, i might get some again because aluminum top hats will not break and make noises like the rubber ones did. thats the only reason why i took them out.

i think i know what your talking about... the metal upper mount, if so the i think you have to buy it seperately..
do you have a link to the pic or something just to make sure we're talking about the same thing tho.

i think this is what he's talking about


and is this one from our civic? cause the file name is "cok2001cvc_small.jpg" so i'm guessing it stands for "coil over kit 2001 civic"

(and sorry if i stole this picture to whom it may concern)

the color pick is missing the piece that he was talking about. I think GC left it out of the pic on purpose, but the aluminum piece should go in between the spring and the plastic bearing thing on the front. On the rears they are made out of urethane.

the top pic in SpeedDemon34 post is what i'm talking about. i think it would be better if you had the aluminum top hat because the urethane ones tear and start to make noises
