I bought some Bilstein coilovers

For my 2011 that currently has 2012+ ZL-1 rear toe rods, Pedders ZL1 sways and Pedders drop springs. I bought the Bilstein slightly used and I'm now not even sure they will work with this setup?

I'm also guessing that I just re-use my strut top hats on the Bilstein coilovers?

Why do you think they won't work?

My 2010 has 2012+ LCAs; pedders rear bar, and everything else back there is BMR. I am running BC Coilovers. I can't see the Bilsteins being so different geometrically they would not work.

I'm not sure about the strut hat but if they didn't come with one, I would assume you would reuse the factory ones.

I have the same setup on my car for 80k miles or more with the same rear sway bar. They fit well. No noise like Pfadt coils. I also have the rear Z28 springs slightly cut evenly that balances the cars handling. These Bilsteins last a freaking long time.
