    Compbrake top mounts

    Hi all, Has anyone used/fitted these top mounts:



    I believe this is the chap who used to sell these a certain banned company that some people on here used ?

    They look nice and just under £150 but are they any good ?

    Quite a few people have fitted stuff that looks the same, unsure on make. Overall they're not the best for road use, pro mounts are more compliant and last longer. Some have had wear issues with teh top bearings. Some of us have gone 034 topp mounts, ask Sonic what he thinks, or Jamo. £100 a set delivered from te US of A.

          They work well if you want tight precise steering, though mine didnt last much more than a year before the balljoint wore out. I'd use them for a track car but not for a daily driver for that reason.

          I've been running promounts for about six months with no issues, time will tell if they wear out in the same way. They are a little more refined as they started life as stock rubber mount, the above are just a solid lump of alloy which transmit a lot more noise and vibration through the body of the car.
