The point would be that OE top mounts are wank...... so it would still be an upgrade.


I guess it wouldnt foul the turret sides it you were just running standerd camber

True, the shocks would not foul in that case, but you would not be able to get the top of the spring to seat against anything.

The camber adjustable/eccentric top mounts rely on the spring reducing to a surface diameter of about 15mm through the use of a conical spring top washer. Something you would have to have machined up bespoke, as I do not know of anyone who makes them, for the reason that there is no point.


Just buy some SKF top mount bearings. They should last just fine.
