Are they worth it?

I'm putting coilovers on car on sat (refurbished) so would like everything nice and fresh.

Is it worth me buying top mounts, or stanadrd ones?

Be prepared to cut your turrets.

Good for getting a bit of extra caster, and camber if required.

Not chopping turrets, which means only option, is a whole new set up.

Don't suppose anyone knows where from other than Vaux

You don't need to chop them if you fit them the wrong way up.

Cheers, lucky as I boyght them about half hour ago

Wht doesn't look right, as I'm sure you know top of corsa suspension has a "cup" where you need drop neck spanner, that part doesnt seem to be shown?

Buy the solid non adjustable top mounts.....

Then you get the benifit of a solid mount without chopping your strut tops......

Think they are called accentric top mounts although I could be wrong on the name
