They're a pair of TAS topmount for the front struts, should tighten up the front end and improve the turn in too:) Plus I can drill them slight offset to set my camber too :D
Down side, they'll make the ride even more bumpy. :(

they were mine :cry: ! the cash has certainly helped i tell you!
hope all goes well with them, have left you a PM about the sleeve nuts you need to aquire. and yes they will be a harsh ride, but will make a huge difference in the positive steering departm,ent which is what i intended to use them for

they sit inside the front strut mounts(turrets) and replace the rubber thing that your damper bolts to that has the two m8 studs that come thru the top of your turrets

How they fit???

You have to drill you're own holes??

I seen the ones that are already drilled, looks far easier!

Yep Drill your own, true it's not as easy, however, it measn I can drill them to set my camber up correctly. :lol:

Hi,
Got the TAS adjustable ones on mine. The bearing is set well to one side and holes drilled and tapped all the way round.
Looks like your bearing is smack in the middle if thats the case you wont be able to adjust far enough.
Personally mate i would send em back and order the TAS Eccentric ones p/n TAS 0626N
Sorry if i put a dampner on things!!!!

As Martin says, you wont get much camber adjustment out of those. I too have the eccentric ones and they're the cheapest (decent) solution for camber adjustment.

What suspension kit is this mounting to?

Cheers.

I agree with Martin, they dont look they'll give you as much adjustment as eccentric top mounts. I got mine from protec motorsport: http://www.pro-tecmotorsport.com/

No need, as I'm going with Rod ends on the TCA's so only want to reduce the distance I need to pull the bottom in and not over stress the shafts :)

Genius pun :lol:
