quote: some topmounts can be fitted without cutting the turret but they dont offer much adjustment. these ones give +/- up to 3 degrees camber and castor. | |

One thing I'd like to know is why cut it and make such a mess of the turret? | |

quote: incorrect, all cars have a certain amount of camber set by the factory be it negative or positive. a car will grip more on a drag strip with 0 degrees camber but will be useless round a track. More negative camber on a fwd car is more usefull round a track, mainly because when cornering the car leans and the suspension will compress, it is in this moment 0 degrees camber on the inner wheel is desirable giving maximum grip ;) | |

quote: to get rid of any camber that you have on the suspension caused by lowering :) I dont know what it would do for the handling but I assume that thecar handles better with 0 degrees camber, also it will even out the tyre wear :D | |

you say fully camber/castor adjustable, but they're not 100% fully adjustable. | |
