Pillow ball upper mounts

[BHDave]

Anyone have any experience with pillow ball upper mounts?

They get sold separately from the other components by the jap suspension companies so i assume they can be mounted to regular suspension and not just coilovers.

Just interested to know what is involved/replaced when using these.

Yeah, someone help as I am looking for this as an option for my coil overs too!

there prety easy to install and make sure you get the ones to suit your particular car. Just makes adjusting camber alot easier and quicker so like if you go to a track day can have extra egative camber within 5 mins. you can mark them so you know where to adjust them to for street use again later.

Not too sure about the R32 suspension but for you 4 doorz they wont make any difference!!

due to the setup of the suspension, getting the adjustable tops for your coil overs will not change the camber angles at all!!

look at your suspension and you'll see that they will only move the springs and have no effect on camber!!! since the coil overs are free to move within the wishbones!!

A pillow ball upper mount is not necessarily adjustable.

I don't want adjustable, if I did I would get an adjustable top link.

I am interested to know whether pillow ball uppers will fit on stock type suspension as they should remove compliance in the suspension and maintain alignment while cornering hard.

I have tien NRs and like the height and ride and dont want the added expense of coilovers right now.

I kow what your saying now, and i should think that they are pretty much interchangeable!

I'm using Tein HR coil overs with Tannabe pillow ball mounts, only thing is that there is a little movement in the springs due to tannabe's having a skinnier spring than the tein!!! works fine though!!!

only thing is actually trying to find the top mounts only, most places will only sell them as a package! tein sells them but at $600 it's pretty expensive option!!

what is the point of having them if they are not adjustable???

This is why BHDave wants them!!!

and as i posted the suspension etup doesn't allow adjustable upper mounts to work with the R33's at least!!

That's it. Just thinking about stiffening up the whole lot.

Plus if you have a look inside the wheel well you dont have any room to move the top of the strut around either. Not that it would do much anyway because you have dual wishbones in 32-34 skylines
