Evogone - yep thats the price for the pair, sorry dont know prices out of the group buy

Stew - no they are on tight (could do with a nip from a proper airgun though) i rang Curtis about that as i thought there should be some thread protruding out the top. He said that is fine, as long as the nut is on 2 or more threads it is secure, mine are on 3 threads with 3 left over, with his suspension knowledge i wasn't going to disagree with him!

please guys any other technical questions you will really need to ask Curtis, i didn't design the bloomin' things lol

But lets face it AST are hardly a mickey mouse operation, i trust the product and i trust Curtis when he tells me they are good.

please bear in mind that i havent and won't be able to drive the car for a fair while yet so i cant comment on what they do to the ride/handling

i also asked curtis about that, he was very confident that after the testing done on the mk2 the top mounts would perform as desired on the mk1

i'm not trying to sell them to you all, just after realising there was a gap in the market for solid mk1 top mounts i thought i might do you a favour and post up what i have found after i took the initial risk.

Indeed, and many thanks for that, it is much appreciated.

no problems fella :D

Im in but would have thought you need more than 2 / 3 threads purchase.

Can not remeber the equation but im sure the dia of the thread in relation to pitch of thread to ensure robust fitment would require more than just 2/3 threads....doesnt seem to touch any nyloc you would have at the top of the nut.

Anyways.
