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.

Cheers

Dave

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!!

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

    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!ย  We are a pack of know it alls....ย  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!ย  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree! ย 
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc. ย  It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things. ย  Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing" ย  As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things. ย  It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first. ย  There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one. ย  However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long timeย  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
