well following on from this thread

http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... 67#2267567

i'm know thinking about a set of offset top mounts aswell.
but what i want to know is will i be able to use them with the likes of the springs & dampers in the other thread.

is it possible? if so where can i get them from & how much?
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

after a bit of a search i found these

now the thing is (& i'm sorry if it's a daft question) would i be able to use these with the like's of bilstein B6's/B8's or the one's in the thread above?

i don't want to be ordering them if i can't.

only reason i ask is because i've been used to using coilovers for the last 6 year's with adjustable top mounts.

come on folk's help me out here..................................please?????

Hello Steve,

I am also looking at uprating my top mounts and these seem like decent value for money compared to the likes of others. I have also seen many people at my local sprint and hillclimbs using this style of top mounts. Im afraid i have no experience of using them myself though.

So please guys there are 2 of us who are keen for advice relating to top mounts and your help would be much appreciated

well after a bit of digging i found these

from ireland engineering, now i know they're not proper top mounts but for the price they don't seem to bad.

anybody got any thoughts on them?

I could be wrong but I'm sure UweM3 made some of these or somthing to do the same job.

AST do an offset top mount.
