H&R's with AST Topmouts

[T26TGT]

Does any one know how to set these up to a decent standard?

 

[Gray]

They are set up to the best standard already...

Haha x

 

[Gray]

It would be worth a trip to a decent garage with laser tracking equipment.. you can then properly set the camber (Although it wont be far out) I spent a good hour setting the camber

 

[T26TGT]

Anyone got a pic of what these look like? topmounts i mean

 

[chrispy.clio]

I have the AST mounts on my H&R's coilovers.

They are amazing , mine are just set so the 3 allen keys are facing each other from each mount, think thats Maximum negative camber!
Might me able to see in the picture

 

[chrispy.clio]

Oh also i have a guide on how to fit them, so i will sort that out at some point soon, Its really easy to do though

 

[T26TGT]

I have them fitted just want to tweek them. can you point me in the direction of the guide?

also any chance of a close up photo please mate?

Really like this car, and I'm not normally one for gay coloured mirror housings.

 

[chrispy.clio]

To adjust them you need to undo the 3 allen keys and twist the mount, one way will add camber the other take it off.
I'll have a look and see if i have a closer pic as i dont have the guide all set yet.

 

[T26TGT]

ok dude, mine does not look like urs at the min. i am gonna set it up same as urs if you could get me a closer pic? where ur middle nut is in line my last ones (nearest your window screen) are in line on me car so mine need twisting. I assume i do it with the car off the ground?

You will need to take it to a garage once fitted mate, to get it alligned correctly etc. To make sure it's spot on.

 

[chrispy.clio]

Think this is the best picture i have, you can see the row of parts are the bits on top on the car and the other part is the bit on the coilovers and under the car. If that makes sence

Yes the race team i work for has all the gear. Flat floor, Digital camber gauges, tracking gauges. so i'l be setting mine up.

You can have all the best gear but its pointless unless its set up perfectly (IMO )

to get max neg camber you want the three capheads facing away from each other.

Really? Oh, i thought it was actually the other way round, As Foxy's track car has them facing like mine, So i assumed he would be running beastly negative camber.

So does any body know what's the Max camber the AST mounts can run? -4.5?

 

[broster@JAM-Sport]

depends what suspension your running for the max camber, i used my top mounts to set the castor and the adjustment on the coilover to set the camber.

if you look at how the top mount works you'll see that putting the cap heads towards the outside will move the top of the strut to the center of the car, hence applying more camber.

Arrr yes of course. Its a million times easyer to adjust the camber with the top mount isnt it. So where do you have yours set for the caster?

Infact why do you have caster?

 

[T26TGT]

im lost now and unsure what to do

 

[172Ben]

Put them on, and take them to a garage.

Dont try and guess imo. I tried this, and it made a mess of the handling and nearly ruined my tyres.

 

[chrispy.clio]

Yeah getting it set up properly is the only way

thats why we do full geometery set ups lol!

Oh lol

 

[cal46]

Where can I get a set of these ast mounts from and how do they differ from the k-tec ones all so do I need to use camber bolts with these?

 

[T26TGT]

i think kam racing fo them or ast. u dont need camber bolts

There is a sort of group buy, but you can just buy them now

Here is the link to Kam Racing where i just bought mine from http://www.kamracing.co.uk/club-disc...-cup-1524.html

You can use the mounts for setting your camber so you wont need the camber adjusting bolts.

Can Koni use the AST topmount??
THX

just make sure when you buy them you say what strut your using, then they will be machined to suit
