Thing is, adjusting camber from the ball joint messes with all the other settings. Likely to give you toe out mainly

 

[TissMe]

Yes it will effect it , b ut the beauty is that the to out will be adjusted back when the geo is done

This is the thing that the Golf 4 chassis guys have off the TT`s , that is a good one
But never anything been done for the Fabia , and Ibiza guys

For me, the idea of having adjustable topmounts is so I can drive to track on 0-0.5deg of camber, whack it up to 2-3deg on track, then stick it back for the drive home, without having to touch any of the other settings. Adjusting the lower is ok, if you just want the one setup though

 

[TissMe]

Well I never did track , and dont want to pay £400 for the top mounts , and I dont have KW coilovers and dont want to have to replace the Koni suspension kit I have

So I got off my backside and did something

Shame that people find it very easy to critise

I'm not criticising the idea, its good, I actually thought about it when I had the wishbones off. It's ideal for the majority who just lower their cars and want to sort the camber, I'm a fussy buggar though and always want that bit more

That is OK then
It took no end of planning and then getting it done professionally
Cost a fortune too , but now selling car so , not needed
But hey , I must admit , I have thought about getting a few of them , as I know so may had the issue

And these will work with any coilovers? Legend mate, these are just the job.

 

[joop200789]

i think as long as top off your springs are flat and that there enoguh thread to get the nut on they should fit. And if the spings arnt flat am sure a base plate can be knocked up to solve this

but am guna look more into it first

and off tolp of my head fk ak coilovers the springs are flat at the top
