Adjustable top mounts
« on: June 21, 2016, 06:57:01 pm »
Hi all,


Any recommendations on adjustable top mounts for MK5 Golf GTi? I've got adjustable ball joints so running approx. -1.5 degrees of camber, but I'm still catching the front right arch on 3/4 - full lock. I don't really want to higher the car because it's sitting just as I want it now.

Seen the VwR top mounts, but are they only compatible with VwR Coilovers? Any other adjustable top mounts people would recommend, with a link to them if possible?

They're the USA brand right? Assume no issues with fitting, all just same as the US Golfs?

I have ground control mounts :-)

Car handles great with the Geo they make possible

What camber and caster are you running?
