Camber Adjustable Top Mounts

[elbon50]

Is it possible to get camber adjustable mounts for the struts on a Mk1 please ?

Have looked online but only found them for coilovers

[SuperRedMR2]

I believe Cusco do them Peter

Not sure if Corolla (FWD) fits:

Thing is, it only allows easy camber adjustment. The race cars had quite a lot of negative camber on stock top mounts, so it must be do-able with camber bolts.

Top mounts do give a more direct feel (I've got them with coilovers on my GT), but it also increases road noise and NVH of course.

Edit: Found some, really cheap at £250 and that's for the rears. If you're going to spend that much, might as well go for budget coilovers like BC etc.

T3 tops won't work with standard suspension?

Tweeks sell universal eccentric roller bearing top mounts. You sort your own collar/bush to make the shock a snug fit and you drill and tap your own bolt holes to locate the strut top in the strut tower.

Real engineering, 10mm alloy plate and a huge and easily replaced bearing.

Many thanks for the information folks

Will follow up on all the suggestions

These give up to 1.75 degrees negative

How much negative camber do you want?

How much negative camber do you want?

Not sure yet

Just want to experiment

Perhaps 1.75 might be enough

Have used more on other cars in the past

[Lauren]

My GT runs 2 deg neg on the front and 1.75 rear.

I know the race cars used 3 deg neg or so.

1.75 Should be enough for the road though?

Those might be a bu88er to set up with the stock camber adjustment system. Unless you get rid of the stock system but I can see that being a bit of a PITA to do with the enlarged holes in the strut. And would it give you any more adjustment?

[elbon50]

Have done a quick measure & it seems that the max neg camber I can get with the built in Mr T adjuster is about 2 degrees

So defo not worth messing with the Eibach bolts

Would like to be able to experiment with considerably more neg

And be able to quickly & easily make adjustments

So will investigate the top mount possibilities next top mounts for me

Any more than 2 deg negative camber is likely to significantly increase tyre wear. It's excessive for the road really.

I entirely agree

The difference in my case is that I use mine on road very little

[Lauren]

Best bet is to along to an MR2 race and talk to people I would think, if you're pursuing a track set up.

It's been 8 years since I last raced an MR2 and it wasn't my car, so I don't remember the setup.

Good idea, I could also try asking on the MR2 Championship forum perhaps

[elbon50]

Have now found a post by Patrick which states that any form of adjustable top mount is prohibited for the Championship series

There may be a Roadsport series with different rules

[Lauren]

That tells you that they do manage to get quite a lot of negative camber without any top mounts. They must do it on camber bolts I would guess.

Best to get an idea of what they run in respect of camber as you may find you can achieve a similar setup fairly easily, you just need the figures.
