As title, what are the advantages? Not very clued up on the suspension side of things, what do they offer? is it camber adjustment? just wondering if i should get them or not before i buy my coilovers from gaz? thanks, sean

Adjust camber and castor.
And with them being solid metal they make the front suspension a bit "tighter"

There was a thread recently about Gaz & eccentric topmounts. In short... If you're planning on getting some, buy them and get Gaz to tailor the coilovers to suit them.

As Adam says, they offer (some) adjustment of camber and castor.

as with all these things, you need to get somebody with a really in depth knowledge of how suspension needs adjusting to give you the characteristics you need.. some lad with a 4 wheel alignment rig will only be able to put stock figures on it.

You can usually specify what camber/caster/toe you want to achieve and they can set it though.

Iain, this is my point. trying to work out the best settings is the hard bit

I apologise for misunderstanding you.

i have always just stuck with factory settings, apart from a bit of lowering, because I wouldn't know where to start on tweeking suspension. maybe there is a decent book on the subject.
