Ahhhh yes, another Wobba enquiry!

Ok gang. I need those of you using the AST Solid Top Mounts to get pics up of your top mount settings and give some feedback on the handling and feeling from the front end, and how you typically use the car, i.e. track work or fast road etc.

I used to have mine set so it just gave max negative camber and no change to castor, but I have just reset mine a bit (see pic) so they are giving LESS castor. The wishbones I use are the R19 ones which affect it slightly.

The transformation is nothing short of sensational. Much nicer feedback, miles mess bumpsteer and the steering feels less heavy. Not sure if ultimate grip has been reduced, but I rarely get to that level driving on the roads anyway. I've giot massive grip with R1R's and my LSD anyway....

Just off to get a pic!

Passenger side. 'Up' is the windscreen.
