    kw v3.. adjustible topmounts?

    hi all..
    just bit of friendly advice.. Ive just bought (and waiting for them) kw v3 coilovers for my avant.. what top mounts would you all recommend?

    preferably i would like adjustable seen as i have fully adjustable coil overs would like nice camber caster adjustment then to compliment.. cars gonna be used track days and soon going to be stripped caged and 450+ bhp...

    so far only route i can see is the weld in universal 034 ones are there any others about?

    any help welcome cheers

        I believe weld in ones are the only option on these cars as you've found aswell.
        If you want some cheap topmounts to cover the time till the moment you find what you want, then contact me please.

            The reason for there not being many options is purely and simply that the space available to fit a top mount is so small. The OE solution may have been a very neat packaging exercise but it makes upgrades a complete faff. If you look at something like a BMW, the top mounts and turrets are about twice the diameter, so there is much more space to move the strut about and get more camber / castor.

                        Not sure, Hanks project thread is here

                        Just picked up a 81 Euro URQ with 100k miles.. It looks like a good one. Got it in San Diego where it spent a yea after spending it's life in Reno Nevada. The car came with no motor( well just shortblock) which i don't really care about sense it is gonna get the 10v motor of death out of my...


                        Or he is URQguy on here

                        There is a good how to by Jim Green here with loads of pictures

                        Here is how I tackled this project. This is probably the most pictures I have taken to date, partly because I spent so much time pondering the best way to do this. 1. Call 034, told Javad all of the various components I was using, and he ordered the proper Ground Control Strut Mounts for me...
