All you are paying for is the pretty purple.
If you need more shock travel you need more shock travel, doesn't matter front or rear.
If I was buying top hats it wouldn't be anything but ISC

Why do you need more shock travel? Many happy customer with both products..... I wouldn't shell out the cash for the FM ones though. ISC works at the track, so despite their looks, I wouldn't think twice about buying some.
BTW: If you're on stock shocks/springs, they're most likely blown; that's why the ride sucks, not the lack of travel.

One of the email links on the site points to an AOL account that works when you click it (link text still shows other address). Just got a set of mounts a week or so ago.

I'm on lowering springs and Koni sport dampers. I want
to adjust the perches for more lowering. Have no idea right
now if i absolutely will be in need of the shock mounts.
But i guess they will do no harm?
Any issues with the missing edge support on the ISC
tophats?

Not really much support needed. You buy them, you put them in, they work. It's not a turbo system, it's a chunk of steel. 
The only possible downside is by gaining too much travel, you could put a wheel into a fender, depending on the width/offset you run.
EDIT: I see you have a 94. Try switching to 99+ tophats. No change in travel, but they'll drop you down about 1/2 inch.

The downside is a loss of droop.

That's valuable information!
1/2 inch is just about what i had in mind to improve stance.
Searched some more - look's like Fatcat have some nice
parts for someone like me who's not into experimenting.

so any pics of the fm springs illuminas and isc top hats?
got a question, i recently bought rokkor, ricelands new line same **** different color, and im having an issue with hitting the bumpstop. i have already read to remove helper springs and cut bumpstops for a shittier but low ride. What im asking is would 99+ tophats or isc be the way to go?

Raise your car and put the helper springs back on. If you choose not to do that, buy extended top hats.
i know i made the choice and knew it. hit a curb a month ago and bent a strut so cheap fix, 350$ shipped with a 3 year warrenty, ehh. deffinately gonna get some teins or megans soon
a. like my height and b. would have to get another alignment so im just gonna try and fix existing. then use the same tops with new suspension later down the road... thanks XD
