Thanks Grant.

They do what they say they do = infinite camber and caster adjustment to any position within the circle of the strut top. You can set them up to your heart's desire basically. I went to the suspension shop and provided my desired setup specs and they adjusted them to suit. DOUGMO (George) in this forum also has a set for his track car and highly recommends their adjustability, especially for caster as it doesnt move the position of the wheel in the wheel arch.

I recently purchased a new set of BC coilovers with their own pillow ball camber tops plus I already have 3.5' lower caster mounts installed in my car for added caster. I therefore probably wont need the K-Mac's due to being overkill for a mostly driven street car. My set are the Kmac Stage 3 full race version with pillowball top (all silver).

Pros: Unlimited castor/camber adjustability. Great for setting up your front suspension to suit different race tracks. Quick and easy. Look great B)

Cons: Several pieces to each camber top. They are a bit fiddly to setup at first but once in place you can easily loosen the nuts and move the top to whatever position you require for camber/caster. Like all camber tops, after a few adjustments, evidence of knocking them into position can be seen due to alloy/anodising wear.

Thanks for the info,
mate if you are going to sell these let me know as i think
they are exactly what i'm after as i don't need or want to
drop $1500-$2000 on coilovers .
It allso makes it easier to convince the financial controller to
let me spend hundreds and not thousands :lol:

My financial controller knows better than to tell me how to spend $$ on my car :lol: If she starts on me, I start talking about her spending on cigarettes, footwear fetish and girly stuff that fills every bathroom drawer that shuts her up quick smart :lol:
I just have to make my mind up which way I am going to go with these. I dont really need them and the extra cash could go toward some medical expenses I've copped recently :unsure:
Once the BC's are in I'll see where my front wheels sit before making a decision to sell the kmacs or not

Mate i'm lucky or unlucky, as my controller is more of a sport & beer type of girl
lucky see likes sport,unlucky see is better at than me :angry:
just let me know which way you go with your setup.
How's your health at the moment, hope your on the mend.

I just paid $660 for an INR blood testing machine today :unsure: therefore I think I will end up selling the strut tops after Im able to suss out how it all sits with the new BC's in place.
As Im in no state to do physical activities and the suspension changeover at the moment, Im not sure if it will be in the next 2-3 weekends time before the changeover happens and I can make the call either yay or nay to sell them.
I'll let them go for $250 if you're still interested in them when the time comes. I know they are worth a lot more new so you can save yourself some $$$.

What are coilovers like to drive with. Are they front and rear? I think I'll need sOme in the next few months. My ride is fairly sloppy feeling with king springs

 

[evopwr]

as long as you don't get 'track-spec' coilovers, they wont be too harsh on a daily driver.

No problem Rob, when ever your ready let me know
It's a pity i'm not up that way or i'd come and give you a hand.
