Post #1

I’ve recently purchased some KW coilovers and plan on doing some track days but after my last one, I’ve realised how much roll you get on road tyres with standard geometry setup. I don’t want to wreck a posh set of tyres so I think some camber/castor would help. Any pointers in what top mounts to look out for and do I need anything else to make it work? Cheers, Dan

Have a word with Allan from Bridgecraft, their adjustable top mounts are nice bits of kit if you don't mind cutting your shell a bit.
You may need top hats making, and if your KW's are the same as mine another smaller top hat to help hold the damper rod in the spherical bearing.

I got my top hats from Gaz for £20 or something silly, pretty sure they'd fit KWs as well as it's all about the ID of the spring

Agree with that Thumbs up

I ordered some conical top hats from bakerbm a couple of years ago, think they were 15 quid.

My KW's use 60mm ID springs, most other brands use 2.25" ID springs. Worth checking before ordering anything. Thumbs up
