dry sump ftw
in my opinion and i have said this for funking years, olly is running his top mounts the right way and everyone else is wrong!!! i say this because if you run them so that the nipple bit sticks up then you dont get full adjustability which makes them pointless. which surely should ay to anyone they are supposed to go the same way as olly has them. any who i shall be running mine the same way as olly has them as thats how i beleave they shoudl go
You can get 2 different styles. Nipple up circlip down, nipple down circlip down. I had nipples up and circlips down and got full adjustment without cutting the strut tops.Quote:

wasnt a dig at you lee :thumb:
was just a dig at the way imho the thread was going with so many people jumpin on the top mount band wagon! and takes away from what a work in progress thread is all about and goes off on a tangent lol
and your right it is just a discussion, and your opinion is as valid as any one elses i wasnt springing to his defence as i am sure he is more than capable of doing so if needed, just thought i would express my opinion i never once said it was ideal the way olly is running them and never said they were designed to be used as hes using them, but its just when people get fixated with something it seems to drag on needlessly! (just like i am doing lol)
just when people say 'oh your strut tops are upside down' like olly is unaware of it, :roll:
and 'cant believe the butchery thats going on with the top mounts' ffs they are only 70 quid there or there abouts, easy and cheap enough to by another set,
imho there are only a few threads on the board then are imformative and very interesting to everyone and this imho is one of them, keep up the good work olly :thumb:
i never knew there were two sorts. ive only ever seen them with the circlip on the flat sideQuote:

if you open the turret out a bit , they fit just fine burgo
and olly, are you not gonna run into the same manifold issues lowering the whole car?
Group hug?
