You've gotta get the top mounts machined or mod your strut tops to allow full adjustment.
I got mine off Ebay, presume there the same ones ?

I had my top mounts machined down slightly...BUT still needed to prise back the strut tops with mould grips to get them in:roll: lol

I had 3.5mm machined off around the edge (7mm across diameter)and they seem to fit ok.

I had mine machined down by 7mm but the fit was still limited to one position so didn't bother fitting mine. Mine were Raly Design ones.

They are ment for catsor but if you mchine them down you can get quite a good bit of camber adjustment also.

instead of machining them down, why not just fit them the proper way up like they were designed?

swings and roundabouts but imho i belive that they should go "nipple" up otherwise its gonna be sat on a circlip thats looks incapable of doing the job.. wether it does the job or not is beside the point lol

Thats the realy strange thing stu i have seen some with the circlip on the same side that the nipple sticks out of, they should monut the other way up(like chris says),or like mine its on the underside of the nipple so i mounted mine that way so the cars presure go's up against the clip and not the cars wieght push through onto the clip(meaning you have all the presure against the clip only and not the monut) :confused:
