New upper mounts - Toyota Yaris Forums

So this is a straight mount, with no adjustability. Looks pretty cool, although adjusting camber on the fly would be pretty cooler.

I would be happy to just eliminate the play/bind that is in the stock mounts. I hate the way they move up and down, which makes the shocks less effective, and allows the alignment to change. We tried runner ours a bit tighter, with no intermediate nut, and it made it super hard to turn.

Sure a camber plate would be nice to have, but space is tight up top, and the crash bolts get you close.

Just talked with them... One set is being air freighted in next week so we can test fit them. It appears as though these were made for the JDM, and they are not 100% sure its a go for our cars, although I can't see what the hang up would be. They have lots of options for the bushing that fits inside the bearing, so fitting other brands of shocks should not be an issue.

I will let you know how it turns out.

It was a great eight year run, but it was time to focus on other things. I'm still selling parts on eBay under micro*image seller ID and customers can still make requests for anything specific.
