I'm experiencing similar things with my ktec mounts Mark. Just posted a thread too!

Now I just recently refurbed some ktec top mounts with new bearings, shim and circlip. Before I did this I was getting a slight knocking from the front end, specifically when on lock up the dropped curb near my house to get to the communal parking. I presumed it was down to the topmounts being...

Appreciate it Marc, thanks.

What's the rush to buy?

Just don't jump in. Cant say i'm 100% clued up on these as to what should and shouldn't be done at a specialist, but if something isn't right, haggle. The ball is in your court as you dont have to buy that car. Theres plenty more out there!

Anyone happen to know the outer anti roll bar bracket part number? Or a link to where I can buy one? I noticed mine was cracked slightly.

That's interesting! I want to get mine on a dyno tbh.

eh? 😂

😂😂😂😂😂

No, i'm yet to pick it up from fedex's local depot.

It'll be like a new car! Youll be getting about 25bhp more hopefully

That's a bummer, does it feel down on power? It must do surely! I'd get the timing checked as the first port of call.

Are hands your fetish?

Just went to halfords to pick up a 17mm deep socket, and the car doesn't pull left anymore! (Even with a 10mm spacer on the OSR). My steering wheel is off centre though 100% so needs tracking up again.

I just looked at this picture, and going off the markings on the spacer it leads me to think that it was in fact toeing in. No other side of the spacer looks like that.

The toe on the OSR is marginally in spec (?) so i'm expecting to see it providing camber over toe. We shall see, good plan on marking it. Thanks for your help Steve!

Yeah completely unaware. I just used the gf's phone and it's saying they're around 1.7degrees but i dont know how accurate this is. It's reassembled on one side without any shims, ill do the other side when it stops raining.

I'm unsure how it was positioned as it dropped out annoyingly. I had thought it was fitted so that I had toe in? But do you not agree? My toe may be another problem altogether?

I was thinking about trig for it. Just seems the camber and toe is out on the NSR so surely this will only solve one of those issues rather than both?

Well... I have taken apart the NSR, and found that the spacer is indeed cambered. This is a relief in the fact that nothing else is bent (hopefully) but also annoying as I will have to buy some new 10mm rear shims. I can only presume this was causing my toe in. On measuring the shim it's 10mm -...

I love how you could see him wanting to talk multiple times, and then he just doesnt

Good one Mark ;)

Should look better! Spacers are one of my favourite mods.

I'm running 20mm fronts, 10mm rears so it's essentially the same stance as @Dr Jekyll's. But those rears are going to be looked at this weekend

Yeah, it's not too bad really! The arch gap isn't huge, and this is a nice stopgap until I can afford Bilsteins. Very! Cheers Mark

I wouldn't have either

Thank you for the kind comments :smile: I'm very happy with how it looks on the 2118's. It's a nice height on the cooksports, but could always do with going lower ;)

-2 camber, 12° Total Toe out

Made the journey down south over the weekend and the car felt great. Will update properly later, but I got the 2118's fitted and it feels great with fresh rubber! Spent all day on sunday polishing the car with the DA, but no proper photos as I was in a rush towards the end. Some photos after the...
