Title: Top mounts gone, any uprated top mounts available
Post by: Poverty on October 18, 2009, 01:09:26 pm

My top mounts seem to have given up the ghost last night and now have horrible grinding and knocking noise. Just wondering instead of me getting it replaced for the same OEM ones under warranty, are there any aftermarket ones out there that will be able to take more abuse? Cars nearly done power wise, so need to start on strengthing the chassis.

All posts and comments appreciated.

Did they come with your coilover kit, or are they available seperately?

Whiteline Max C adjustable topmounts seem to be popular, speak to Julian at Balance Motorsport.
