eccentric allow camber adjustment, fixed dont.

[Martin]

oki.. any more details

They also give you castor adj as well as camber, so not always the right thing to have unless your suspension is fully adjustable.

so theyd be cool with GAZ coilovers?

can i just get them set up via my local garage that does tracking?

[tom reid]

I meant adjustable TCA,s, tie bars, and inner wing top mounts.
You will get camber AND caster changes at the same time with any adjustment made to the eccentric top mounts, you want to be able to adjust one without upsetting the other.
If it's for road/track use I would go for the fixed(concentic) ones.

Naturally they provide a better location for the upper strut into the cars body. Sperical bearing as opposed to Vauxhalls Nylon effort.

If the car hasnt been lowered to much then i normally find that the concentric top mounts are fine as the camber is about right already. If you have lowered the car excessively then the eccentric top mounts can be used to correct the camber caused from the bottom arm levelling out, but when doing this be carefull to check the plunge on the drive shafts as this may effect it.
