ive bought nb rokkor coilovers (poor student) and the nb top mounts. have been doing a fair bit of forum searching and even asked the people at mx5parts (who were of no help) but still not sure what exactly i need in terms of bushes etc.
ive kept the plastic gaskets that go between the car body and the topmount.
if someone can post a link to a thread that no doubt exists or tell me what i need, i would very much appreciate that!

cheers

Im fairly sure they just fit straight on? People "upgrade" to the mk2 topmounts as they are slightly shallower, so you get more lowering / more travel before you hit the bumpstops.

I maybe wrong, worth having a search on Nutz

typical, after posting this, i finally come across the relevant info lol

if anyone else is ever trying to fit nb coilovers and topmounts to an na then you need:

Description Part No. Part No. Quantity
Washer 28-774 NC10-28-774 4
Upper bushing 28-775B NC10-28-775 4
Upper mounting 28-340A NC10-28-340C 4
Lower bushing 28-776B NC10-28-776 4

'upper mounting 28-340a' being the topmount itself

may as well spread the word (even more) so heres the link to the thread too

cheers for the responses anyway folks

em nope the rokkor coilovers dont come with topmounts and the nb topmounts are quite different to the na ones so require bushes as they dont have any rubber shock absorption built into them, they are just solid metal.

Maybe I misunderstood , we used a used set of nb topmounts that came with the rubbers and the shocks the washer was I think the na ones with the d drilled out?
