Top mounts....talk to me!
« on: July 30, 2012, 10:56:05 pm »
Car had mot a last week and the only thing mentioned was an advisory of slight movement on drivers top mount.

The car is lowered on h&r 35mm springs so not slammed. Would it be best to replace with standard ones or are there any options aftermarket wise?

Thanks

Loads aftermarket wise.

THS - not overly harsh from what I've read and experienced
BSH - Fairly Harsh so I'm told but no experience of
VWR - Red Robin has these iirc. But they do different types I think Road & Race
VF - I had these in my last car and have a set ready to go on the new one. Not overly harsh and make the car sound like a 6 pot turbo. Slight increase in noise at 70mph but nothing too intrusive. Otherwise you don't notice unless your flooring it.
REVO - Basically re-branded BSH.

Would these ground control mounts fit onto Bilstien b16's or any other aftermarket coilover kit for that matter?
