Default Pillow Ball Adjustable Top Mounts - any good?

Hi,

Came across some Adjustable Top Mounts by Tein and Whiteline while musing the net.

Are these designed as add-ons to standard factory suspension or can they be used on coilovers as well (provided the coilovers come apart to allow you to replace the top mounts)?

Cheers,

Fz

Nvm,

Got an answer from TSL, yes the Tein one's do fit, providing pillow ball mounts for shocks that don't have them as standard.

The whiteline one's seem rare as anything though, only came across one set on a US forum, seem to offer masses of settings over standard top mounts (mine offer crap amounts of adjustment).

HKS look pretty good as well, again offering lots of settings above standard ones while the Driftworks are designed, obviously, for drifting so offer insane settings for track days.

I will get my hands on the Tein one's and let you folks know how I get on with them.

Quite tempted to go for those supplied by EP Racing, offer camber and castor settings
