I want to get top mounts same as in the link below.

Anyone knows who makes these or where I can buy a pair?

Cheers

Compbrake or Rallydesign, I believe they're called concentric topmounts (no adjustment on them unlike eccentric topmounts)

Is there any real advantage of have the adjustable ones for a road car ?

Need to sort some top mounts for the Sport soon.

Well question is, as they're roughly the same price, whats the point in getting non adjustable ones!

True, but what about setting them up ?

Don't fancy uneven tyre wear lol

Or is there a position that tried and tested ?

Thats why I want concentric, tyres are not cheap lol

Seriously though, only reason I'm getting solids is because no one does stiffer rubber ones, not really bothered about camber and caster adjustment

All the concentric ones I found online are round but without the extra holes, the ones on that ebay link aren't for sale anywhere

Yeah but the camber goes 'out' as soon as you lower a Nova more than -20mm anyway. Edd there is a tried & tested position iirc, backwards & inwards I think.

Spherical bearing top mounts are probably great at speed but I would imagine the floaty std ones are better for daily/sedate road use that a 'trailer queen sport' would be subjected to. :d

Backwards and inwards is a good starting position but gives you more negative camber, probably not the best for saving your tyres. I don't see the point in getting non adjustable ones either really.
