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.

The advantage of pillow ball mounts is nothing to do with being able to set camber, thats just an unrelated feature thats added on some pillow ball mounts.

The goodness of them is in the name, the pillow ball! your stock mounts are rubber, and allow the strut to move around under impact, good for comfort, bad for locating the strut and directing the loads to where they should go.

using a bearing keeps the suspension geometry more stable during cornering, allowing your springs/struts to work more effectivly.

if your using coilovers stock rubber mounts essentially become a wobbly joint between the suspension and the car, if you've ever driven a car with worn suspension bushes then you'll get the idea.
