Question Adjustable Top Mounts???

Hello,

I'm getting some coilovers fitted soon and cant decide on STI Grp N top mounts or Adjustable pillow ball ones??

Whats the pay off like with set up Vs NVH with the pillow ball type?

Any comments welcome...

The trick is to swap the top mounts left to right....

Then they can be aligned to alter the castor rather than camber, this is supposed to improve the handling, whilst leaving camber to the standard bolts... I have yet to try this.

P.S. NVH be b*ggered....

Exactly what Mocom did with mine when they were fitted. Alternativley go for Noltec which are adjustable for both Camber & Castor
