??????

does this thread make sense?

the top mount may have been the other way (i.e 180 degrees to what it is now) but the big bolt in the middle moved side to side, not back to front like the one in the top picture.

the top picture is from turner motorsport to show the fitting of their top mount kit.

im not 100% sure ....but i think thiose orange top mounts are RED LEICESTER

Your top mounts are just camber steve. If they where mounted the other way you would only have the 1* of camber adjustment like the standard can.

And yes you should be able to fit castor camber topmounts, but I would'nt bother.

My KW clubsport was camber only and I was quick enough on them. Put the money towards your tango funds:thumbs:

They Look like AST top mounts and the first pic is correct, and as said they are Camber only adjusters, i supply loads of these no issues ;)

If your going to do anything to them Change the adjuster bolts for ones with larger Allen heads as they round off fairly easily.

trackm3, if you sell them which orientation should the triangular bit go?

thickest part inwards towards the engine ? as it is in the picture or the other way round? or doesn't it really matter...

:hahaha: I know this and was thinking about replacing, good point to go up in size :thumbs:

As Per the pic, flat part against the strut housing.

Hi guys, a question for the KW Clubsport crew.

Is it easy to adjust the camber ?
Can you share some pics of the top mounts in the car ?

[CraigMillwardCroft]

Set the KW's with the camber at 2 degrees and the three bolts holding the struts pulled as far out as possible and tighten, when you get to circuit losen strut brace and three bolts push strut in as far as possible and tighten all up this should give you 3 degrees, was recomended this by other CSl trackies works great. :thumbs:

this works well and an easy adjustment only takes 2mins to adjust

What is the maximum camber that you can set with KW Clubsport top mounts ?

You were the smart one who told me that tecnique :thumbs:

So, with the four existing screws on the KW top mount is difficult to make the adjustment or maybe because two of the four screws are moving during the adjustment beneath the wheel arch.

If this happens, Turner Motorsport and Nitron have better and easier adjustable top mounts.

Any pics from these topmounts ?
