compbrake top mounts

[james walker]

anyone used these, solid top mounts.... any benefits/disadvantages


also, as im now concentrating on the handling side of things, im stuck between wether to go for a forge fmic, or swap my current shock and spring combo for a set of weitec/kw coilies....
current mods are in my siggy.

again opinions welcome on both these topics guys

cheers

You'll hate solid top mounts
I'd spend the money on good suspension and keep your eye out for a good second hand FMIC

 

[james walker]

read reviews these are not that harsh, is that the reason id hate them willie??

have you tried them?

 

[Willie]

Fair enough, usually these will transmit loads of vibrations that were usually soaked up with the rubber top mounts.
Take a look at Festers Readers rides section, he has just fitted track density top mounts and loves them

 

[james walker]

the compbrake have a rubber ring to stop as much vibration being transmitted i think.

just after top drawer handling to accomodate my 230bhp too be honest, looking at all avenues...

If your after the best then the R32/LCR subframe swop is where you want to start looking TBH

 

[james walker]

well i got another oem subframe and have added tt rear wishbone bushes, new lc front wishbone bushes, tt subframe bushes....

thinking of swapping my shocks and springs to coilovers... benefits of this willie?

tbh, im binning the fmic idea to concentrate on getting this power i have down and use it better.

quaife is still on aswell..

Hold off in swapping out the suspension just now. do the other things first get the 4 wheel alignment done and see how the car feels.
But deffinately uprate your front ARB
