Rear Aluminum Shock Hats Pics Wanted
Guys, I'd be grateful if somebody could post or PM me a few pictures of the late Series II aluminum shock hats that go on top of the rear shocks and springs. I've searched all over and can't find any posted.
Thank you!
Thank you!

Thanks for the information. That's what I noticed too. I think i'm getting some bad info from a vendor that's kind of ruining my suspension upgrade and costing me track time.

So, surprise, I don't know WTF I'm doing.
This is apparently OK. If I don't like it I can use low-rate helper springs to take up the slack.
Problem solved, car will be on-track Friday.

Yes, technically for modification or updated Engine Mounts the use of 'should' be the other way around, use Series 2 engine mounts on a Series 1.
But yes S1 Mounts will install and work on a 2009 MY, there were some minor changes to the Alloy Engine Mount Brackets, but that should not create any install issues with S1 engine mounts on a S2.

Sakebomb makes them if your time is valuable, along with the bolt and spacers you will need to keep the springs from rubbing on the shock body. Note you have to level and flatten the base of the steel hats as they are neither (being a stamped piece).
