W hat suspension is this?

[Hilux]

Hi,

Having been involved with VAG cars for years [Mk1 Golf track day cars] I have recently purchased an ex Mark Fish Motorsport 182 and have contacted them regarding the spec/history but have had no response.

I am therefore new to Clios so hoping to understand the car a bit better. I believe it has Vibratechnic's solid mounts on offside/engine and nearside gearbox but its also got what I think are solid top strut mounts fixed at four points with a bearing that allows for camber only.

Looked on here and on the interweb but cant see another example like it - anyone here shed any light?

Yes you’re right. The solid top mounts don’t really add any camber. For camber you would use camber bolts in the bottom suspension mount.

The 'height' of the top mount joint would change the kinematics, could be minuscule though or even exactly the same.

Not seen a top mount like it - and cant find a similar example on the internet. Its a solid mount on the car presumably accepted by scrutineers for the Clio Championship so wondered if anyone recognises it and can tell me who made it/supplied it?

These were Mark Fish's own design solid top mounts. He sold a few some years back. I have a set on my race car that have been on there since I bought it in 2013 and they're still good. Over engineered and excellent quality!

Thanks for the update. Interesting to know what they are and who supplied them
