Can I use BC top mounts on std dampers?
As per title really............is it possible to use BC camber adjustable top mounts on a set of sti classic fixed perch dampers/springs?
If so, do you need any other parts?
Many thanks

I'd be wary. The BC coilovers are designed as an all in one unit, there is no reason why it should mate up properly to a "standard" upper spring perch, or the damper rods connect properly to the BC top mount.
I'd say they probably won't fit, Tbh.
(There's a good reason standard top mounts aren't adjustable - the Spring perches aren't aligned with the damper rods for a good reason, the springs actually support the load of the car and need to be as vertical as possible, however the damper rod isn't vertical. That's why spring perches are at an odd angle on standard shocks. Coilovers just have the springs in line with the damper, for adjustabilities sake, so use completely different top mount design and spring perches.)
