What top mounts do you have? And can you get full adjustment with them without enlarging the hole in the bodywork.
Looking at getting some new ones, (as theres something odd with my ones, cant seem to get both sides set the same) Then get the suspension setup before a trackday.

So far im thinking of the compbrake ones (seem a reasonable price aswell)

Compbrake one's, and no they don't allow full adjustment without mods :p

Was just about so say "been informed compbrake ones dont allow full adjustment" lol

Im just wanting as much positive castor from the mount, and up to 1.5deg negative camber (stil trying to find out what a good compromise for tyre wear and grip is.... (that wil include tracking aswell)

You can adjust the camber and caster with them to an extent but not massive amounts. I think I ran -1deg camber and +1deg caster with the Compbrake topmounts. Currently having a few mm machined off them to run slightly more without turret mods.
