    I am also interested to hear on this subject.... fitment is also a question: koni or bilstein stems, with or without OE jounce bumpers?

    From the outset, they look quite nicely made. Look like they do have a good range of adjustment and dealt with travel issues too.

    That second layer of adjustment will be tricky although I do find once you have dialled them in, they rarely get touched again.

    Question is: has anyone tried them yet?

    Actually, the OP also asked for an opinion on the design

    THey do look well made but, personally, I would be looking for caster adjustment as the first priority, you can get enough camber easy from the bottom and caster is more important for a FWD

    Looking at them look nicely made as said already would it be worth calling them? Only in London

    Adjustable for castor aswell

    Easily done though. The second layer of adjustment means you can have the camber adjustement turned by 90 degrees to do castor instead. I did the same with my GC topmounts.

    I prefer this type as you can fully float both directions

    ... handy if the chassis isn't exactly square!
    I have some his old company (Noltec) and they will do them for Mk1, they just don't seem to list them anymore

    Well let's have some dialogue ....

    what purpose ?
    I'm wrongly going to test these .. and I'll explain why !!

    I want to take advantage for trackday and the best fit would be in the caster and not in camber ..

    These platrs only give the camber .. but !! Can be given a new job and stay with caster

    Doubtful, it's a specialist mailing address. Both directors country of residence is Poland. Maybe they registered the company here to get ahead of Brexit issues lol

    I have "scene" ones to go with my scene coilovers - not sure how they'll cope on a track but they are caster adjustable too - https://still-static.com/shop/item/stillstatic-top-mounts

    Replying to many.... No issues with the mounts identified. But for me I am looking for a track day set for a MK1. Caster adjust would be great but not required.

    Still question is no opinions.. who has tried these?

    Dialog is good.
