Looking for advice on MK1 Top Mounts on my track day set up. My problem is strut mounts do not last more than 2 track day events. I am currently running lowered springs, Koni Sports and Poly bushings and none racing tires(tyres). My top mounts are reinforced to roll cage ... so very stiff. I do run 2 degrees negative camber if that matters. Interesting enough, my gravel setup seems to be holding up. Any thoughts? Thanks
If it's a track car i'd fit solid compbrake mounts or if it still on the road bonrath top mounts though the latter is had to get now
Seeing as you're in the US have you considered investing in a set of Ground Control top mounts? Or are you class limited?
Thanks for all the input.... I need to look again at all this CompBrake: Previously had trouble between USA / EU spec Mk1 GTI's .. but will take a look. Limforder is a little hard to find in US. Ground Control .... ? http://www.ground-control-store.com/products/description.php/II=148/CA=88 Kinda hard to return to rallycross set up... but open minded.
ECP = Euro Car Parts ... http://www.eurocarparts.com/car-parts http://www.eurocarparts.com/suspension-mounting Your set up is `too stiff / solid` for this standard top mount to be of much use ...
If you're happy with the oem style mount you can get Sachs ones from Rockauto. Similar to the Compbrake items are ones from Gaz Suspension here in the UK, although they cost more - http://www.gazcoilovers.com/gazcoil...mber-caster-slider-top-mounts-pair-p-428.html
I use the Compbrake eccentric mounts, set for 5` positive caster with 1.5`camber (hillclimb / sprint car ... as yet untested !)
I found a set of used Branth(so?). Will have to see how they hold up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
what coilovers are any of you running for solid top mounts ive got the gaz gold solid adjustable top mounts, but it raises the car 30mm, if i was too lower the car a further 30mm it will make the car too crashy and wont have sufficent damping to be any good. do i need custom coilovers or is there a set out there that can accomodate the solid top mounts cheers jonny
