Exactly. Linear/swift/hyperco are straight up and down; whereas Bilstein are tapered, small on bottom and oem-big on top.

Actually, you don't need nice aftermarket camber top hats to convert or make this work (though of course it wouldn't hurt). You just need custom upper perches (which in turn, press/rest between the upper spring and oem top hats). Basically, it would be similar to how RCE T0 and T2 work with oem top hats. I've lost all my old messages with RCE about doing this; but it would be basically trying to make/transform the Bilstein coilovers into RCE linear coilovers.
