Right, I've got a set of bearings in for the prototypes, they're not at all cheap! BUT I think they're manly enough for the task, jusdging by how they dwarf the bearings on my current promountsAttached FilesCheers'en, AndyC

I spoke to a company whose sole business is motorsport bearings, when I told them of the loading of the S2 axles, they said that these were what they recommended. They cost £££ but if they are truly fit and forget then it's worth evey penny. They are also a motorsport spec bearing so are top quality!
Indeed using a fully threaded lock sleeve and also a lock nut on top.
Also using 5 off bolts to hold them in place.
Seems little point in doing anything other than over-engineering the hell out of them, afterall, there are already other products that are similar but not offset.Cheers'en, AndyC

What size are they andy? I'm using COMAT-18 on Golf which is 43mm OD with 18mm centre bore. They look similar albeit pretty beefy!Jay - pug_life85@hotmail.com

Next size up from that, 1 inch ball, 20mm ID. Understandable based on the fact the front axle on an S2 takes the weight of a Golf!
They'll not be cheap, just the bearings aren't far off £100, something like £275 a pair delivered but they'll be the best quality I can get and small batch size kills the price, as does a seriously beefy design and everything being hard anodised, I'm not interested in cheap, only top quality.Last edited by Rusty; 11 April 2010, 18:27.Cheers'en, AndyC

yikes.... mine are £40 each. Capable of 13,000lb static Axial loading. Mine arent COMAT-18 sorry.... mine are the 3/4" bore high angular ones (up to 18degrees offset incase of crazy camber angles).Jay - pug_life85@hotmail.com

I've come up against the problem of running too much negative camber on the rear since fitting the coilovers. On the lowest point on the wishbone it's still running about 3 or 4 degrees neg, but then the rear tie rods are fully screwed in and I'm still getting loads of toe-in. The toe in disappears when the neg camber is increased to it's maximum point, but then it's ridiculous. It's just going to destroy the back tyres.
So...
Will these top mounts allow me to run less negative camber at the back? I'm already going to have to find custom rear tie(track?) rods and possibly look into getting adjustable wishbones.
Is nothing simple?
