Has anyone had any experince with them? Are they worth the $$$ Cause i'm getting a set of full coilover suspension, but they don't come with the pillow upper mounts. And does anyone know where to buy some on OZ? In Brissy would be even better.

u dont need such thigns sicne u are getting coilovers...thre are other ways to alter your front camber if u MUST go waaaay low.


From what ive read , upper pillowball mounts are weak and coslty to repair...

How can pillowballs affect the camber on a double wishbone setup anyway?

my bad , i was referring to adjustable camber plates , which are built into alot of coilover suspension etc ...normally just a pillowball setup wont adjust camber ofcourse.

Pillowball mounts give a much more solid mount point for the damper assmebly and in doing so, assists in giving a much more positive damping rahter than the damper working with rubber isolation. They can become noisy if the damper rates are very high along with high spring rates and if you're driving on very bumpy roads constantly. If you're looking for real performance from your coilovers suspension, rather than being really low, they might be a good idea, but of course, you can always upgrade (or downgrade) if you feel necessary, but good idea to try and do it all in 1 hit or else it could be a much more expensive exercise to do later on.
