KYB OEM top hat replacement - EVO IX

Does anyone know if KYB's SM5461 front top hat kit will work on my EVO IX MR?

Are top hats interchangable between the ralliart and the evo?

Mine are cracked and will need to be replaced, don't see the track at all, so don't feel like I want to go with camber plates.

Any input is appreciated! Thanks!

Looks like the top hat parts no.s between the MR & the standard EVO are the same. MR403282. Not sure about the Ralliart (i doubt it). See Amazon link

would you happen to know if the link to amazon is OEM parts or just an OEM equivalent? It looks to be an MTC branded part.. thoughts?

The strut in the amazon link looks like the regular lancer strut mount.

Here is a link to the strut mount for the Evo.

I purchased the one that I linked and it was the same match that I had on my evo ix oem strut.

The amazon one does have the same part number that the oem evo strut mount has but with the price and image of a regular lancer strut mount. You could take the chance of getting the cheaper one but I wouldn't be surprised if it's the regular lancer strut mount and not the evo's.
