Cusco PILLOW BALL UPPER MOUNT SET, updated with Pics Page 1 Options

[celicarus]

i just bought the celica a gift. Just like the title says - its the Cusco PILLOW BALL UPPER MOUNT SET/ FRONT/ CAMBER ADJUSTABLE -- from www.japanparts.com

total came out to be $249.33. - i think it'll be 2-3 wks before i receive it since its coming from Japan.

Can't wait - this should do wonders to the Tein setup that I already have - didn't order the rear ones since i'm on a budget this month-

One step closer to making this car a better ride.

I definitely will have pictures when I install it.

received the mounts this morning - i was limited on time and did not have time to take any pictures - cause i knew i would be late for work --

ride quality definitely was better than stock mounts -

to those who plan on getting Teins SS and using cusco mounts - you will not be able to use EDFC - so don't bother buying it -- cause with the cusco mounts - their will not be enough space to squeeze it in - not an issue with hood clearance - just an issue with no more thread showing from the top bolt

another issue is that the cusco mount raises the coilovers about 1 inch - so you will have to lower it again - if i remember correctly their are 16 or 20 grooves on the body of the strut for lowering/higher adjustments - -- before i had 8 grooves going from bottom to top - now i have to lower it a bit more (not sure if that made any sense - but when i come back from my trip to MO next week - i'll remove the wheels n take pictures for everyone to see)

-- another thing i noticed that wasn't there before with stock mounts - is a new noise - now i can hear the strut/coilover gas pressure when going over bumps -- not sure if this is normal or not - but it doesn't bother me since ride quality is better --

-- now i'm gonna head out to get a realignment done --
