Howdy,I will be fitting some KW coilovers soon and have been struggling to find camber adjustable strut tops for our 306's.
Who makes these? Is modification of the strut tower a must?
Thanks

You can use 205 top mounts, quite a few firms sell them for 306 use but you end up with a gap at the front like this.. Easy to fill with a plate though, I have some for sale in the for sale section     ________________________________________ Get used to seeing the yellow one !!!

Puglover had the spoox ones, the bearings (if you could cal them that) were loose in the mount & would click if you moved the strut up & down ________________________________________ Get used to seeing the yellow one !!!Team 330™ Team "no front end or engine" Team "LIMITED EDITION" I live for the 306 sticker Team 0-60 in 6.44 & standing qtr in 14.808 @ 94.55mph all with std engine 203bhp Corolla T-Sport daily driver stealthier than Kwai Chang Caine |

 Hope he sent 'em back, loose bearing in ally on a strut top would have made things an interesting shape in short order... ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

The bearings in puglovers were black and looked like they had been turned on a lathe with a big groove around themOk I come from an engineering background and my standards may be a little high but they were very poor in comparison to the KAD ones I got  ________________________________________ Get used to seeing the yellow one !!!Team 330™ Team "no front end or engine" Team "LIMITED EDITION" I live for the 306 sticker Team 0-60 in 6.44 & standing qtr in 14.808 @ 94.55mph all with std engine 203bhp Corolla T-Sport daily driver stealthier than Kwai Chang Caine |

That groove would be for grease/oil to be fed in through a grease nipple in the housing - I'm guessing they weren't Teflon lined then?If they're just black oxide finished + bronze liner then they'd have been fairly cheap and cheerful bearings though.... ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

i did complain actually.They just gave me some bullshit about nobody else complaining about them. They are solid though, up and down is abit sketchy but it wont be to bad once cars down and all the weight there. Compared them to the pug sport ones though and the bearings look the same. Ill see how they go and change them if needs be. |
