So,

It's been a while, and I haven't been able to find all the information I had when I was first looking at lifting my sf5.

I currently have:

full set of NON-SLS SG Suspension
full set of SF Pedders Springs
2 x SF Rear Top Hats

Will this setup fit in my SF?

Thanks, Sam. :bananatoast:
 
Yes.

but your rears may sit higher, I think,
due to a different rear spring perch height from the SF to SG
 
So I don't need front SF hats? I was told by NachaLuva the SF front hats are the same as SG front hats, just rotated, So I assume that's fine.

AFAK the front SG fronts are a little lower than the SF fronts, so you're right. Do you think that'll be a problem?
 
depends if you want/ need the extra clearance,
can always put in some strut top spacers front or rear to get your heights right

and yeah, no need for the SF hats.
 
Thanks for the help, Robbks, much appreciated!
 
Use SF tophats with SF springs, on SG struts.

top spring perch is different shape from sf/sg, internal diameter of the rear strut hole for the top hat to come through is a different size as well. Sg strut body is longer than the sf, but they fit no problem and lift the saggy but of the sf nicely.
