    The OR/Pro rear brakes operate via the EBD system and under normal operation don't get pressure supplied from the master cylinder. So how will this modification help?

    This sounds functionally exactly like a spacer. How is it different?

    The master cylinder is separate from the electronic braking functions. So as long as you keep all the parts of the electronic and hydraulic boost systems you'll retain the electronic braking functions (ABS, TRAC, VSC, EBD, A-TRAC, MTS, etc.).

    Hi there, a strut spacer bolts to the factory top hat (strut mount) then bolts into the strut tower. It’s basically a stack of legos. A milled replacement strut mount with a nice recessed spring cup and isolator could provide leveling and strength. Additionally, when reusing a factory strut mount on an application like Bilstein 5100s, the springs can shift around under the mounts under pressure during assembly. It can be frustrating to get the springs to align and remain centered. Most coilover companies on the market use a built in 0.5-1” top mount as part of the design (provides the requisite strength but also helps achieve some lift without preload), but no one produces a mount for stock struts, Billies, or OMEs. Toytec and Allpro, for example use proprietary top hats for their coil overs that are based on Billy 5100s, but they only work with flat topped Eibach coils, and of course are not sold separately. We’ve made do this long so I suppose there’s probably not enough of a need out there. Just trying to solve some engineering short comings that I’ve dealt with installing suspensions over the years.
