All I've heard is that there pretty good. Only thing is I wouldn't be to sure on the metal on metal part. But I believe they have a rubber part to them. Been looking at them recently because I have had two new bearings and bushes in 12 months and ruined both so been looking at upgrades. Let me know how you get on with them. Oh and cambers the rear wheels this morning, looks epic :)

I used them on my corrado. Introduced a bit of noise and vibration but my suspension was very stiff.
Great for setting up camber and caster though.

These are the same ones I had.
Simple to adjust, you just rotate them. I have seen different types with a slider on top. Depending on the position of the turret will determine the camber/caster setting. Once I'd fitted mine I took the car to AW Tracksport to get all set up.

I dont think you can adjust camber with them, you need special ones to do that... My ex raves on about her solid top mounts on her clio, always going on at me to get some etc.

The one that got away...

Shes got a pretty serious Clio cup tbh.

All handling mods, and probably done as many track miles as me.

Last weekend we fitted a set of Bilstein B14 coilovers and she had it corner weighted yesterday.

Wow impressive, my gf is pretty clued up on cars. I was explaining how my knock sensor was pulling the timing on the rolling road day I had te other day and she knew what I meant. I was quite surprised lol

Careful mate, she could be lulling you into a false sense of security for some other reason. Could be an elaborate bluff.

She will be asking you to marry her in a couple of days.

I did like the idea of having a gf who was into cars. But, I'm kinda seeing one who has no idea, and shes into horses and I have no idea about them lol

You can, with the turret at 3 or 9 o clock position will give maximum positive/negative camber.

they look a better replacement, the only thing im sceptical about is the surface area in which the mount touches the chassis, its a lot less than the oem mounts so could it eventually flare the "cup" and come through ??

do they clamp tight to the strut top/chassis then? or do they have a little slack?
