Yes they will save you money OR give you better front end low speed corner grip.

I have had mine for one year and car for two years and noticed the better wear on Cups.

Eg at Bedford with -2 front camber I used to get huge outer tyre wear but with the plates you can decide whether you want more or less and try to limit wear etc

Simpson's fitted Turner MS ones to the car. If you want some mine will come off when the Intrax goes on next week, PM me.

I reckon they have saved me 1-2 sets of front cups after 17 TDs last year.

Hmmm, something else to add to the wish list.

I might take them at the right price, Mark can have first refusal though of course.

To be honest if you track the CSL reasonably regularily it is a big money saver even if you include the cost so no brained.

I would say brake upgrade and adjustable camber plates should be everybodys first mods.

Shimmy,

Won't you keep them with the Intrax or do they come with their own version?

I found i was making my front tyres illegal due to premature sidewall wear - the rest of the tyre was fine.

I had the Turner top mounts fitted by Simpson in November - £290. Only done one track day since fitting but am hoping my front tyres will last a bit longer now! Oh and get a bit more conering grip too!
