Many thanks, sorry was having a blonde moment!, i replaced these with the springs as mine had all but worn away!!No the lower top hat sits in the bottom of the spring and acts as an insulator. KYB springs work fine. Remember the bump stops locate the upper dust cover for the shock so again I would change them also.
