camber AND caster adjustable top mounts?
Discussion
evenin' all.
I have GAZ gold coilovers fitted and the adjustable camber top mounts. Been running 3 degrees neg on the front but it's tearing through tyres as expected. Ideally I want to be able to adjust this for track then back to standard for the road. If you adjust the camber back to factory the wheels get pushed forward towards the front bumper which looks gash. I understand this is the caster.
So, who does top mounts adjustable for camber and caster??
Over to you!

adjustable top mounts normally are set up to change camber but at the same time alter the TOE not castor
best set up i have found with Turner and Intrax adjustable top mounts is to run:
-2 camber and 1mm toe in FOR ROAD
and
-3 camber and 1/2mm toe out FOR TRACK
my mounts move the tow 1.5mm out when you adjust the camber from -2 to -3

When adjusting the camber back the wheels look really odd almost up against the front of the wheel arches and I'm looking to combat that.

you need to get the toe measured asap (and make sure you are adjusting the camber correctly on the mounts as sometimes you can inadvertently move the toe in a long way if you dont follow the instruction correctly, depending upon the type of top mounts)
for road use you need the toe just IN say 1mm max but for track ideally at zero but compromise usally to just OUT so that for road it is not to far IN
you dont want to be adjusting the toe independantly, just let it go in/out with the camber
