a question about some tein pillowball mounts.

azkicker0027 · Nov 29th, 2007, 08:03 PM

would a set of front tein pillowball mounts work on my current Eibach prokit with KYB AGX's? i looked around and found only topics about the S and H tech lowering springs and spring rates.
it also seems that these may correct my minor camber issue on the front.

The pillowball mounts have camber adjustment, yes. I have them on my car (Tein Basics, though). And I would think that the AGX's should work with them.

i finished installing the mounts on my KYB AGX's with Eibach prokits then i did the alignment. i was able to correct my camber, but to my dismay, my ride height increased by about 20mm. i know these mounts were designed for the TEIN suspension kits and they have shortened struts or full coil-over setups, but i didn't expect an increase on height on a regular strut setup.
they look awesome though and they pretty much hide my adjustment on top of the piston. i'll post some pics later.

i've got em on my ground control/motivational set-up. the car rode so much smoother! you probably want to still get a shop to align it. i set mine to the dead middle just as you did, and when i got my car back the adjustments were maxed out to one side.

yeah, i did align it in the shop. i did my own alignment with the Hunter DSP 6000 with the added sensors for ride height.
i compared the results from my other alignment a couple weeks ago and everything went into spec. it's just that the ride height came up by about 20mm.
as for the ride, it's pretty good even though it's a solid mount.
I'm debating on some lower springs, but i don't want to reduce my already limited suspension travel.

i got sick and tired of the jacked up front suspension so i removed the pillowball mounts and re-aligned my car. my camber is off again, but not too much. i love the level look again. i guess i'll set these aside for someone else or when i get a full tein setup.
