> [@slwrthnu](#): > > plenty of full coilovers come without top hats. negative. a full coil over would be adjustable height, and camber/caster plates. no top hat = adjustable hight suspension. like ground controls are just an adjustable hight, not a coil over. really i guess it all just comes down to technicalities and what each person calls something. but that’s just my 5 cents. ---

There are a lot of coilovers that don’t have top hats. I try to avoid them just because it’s annoying lol And usually, but not always … The rear will not have any sort of camber adjustment ---
