Please check to see which tops are in your car. Open the hood and look at the top of the struts. If the struts have a black plastic cap, this should indicate that you have the large spring top. Use part number 54764, 54764-55 or 31016-1. If there is a round metal top with rubber around it and no plastic cap you should have the smaller spring end.
