Guest Ash Posted July 24, 2001 Share Posted July 24, 2001 This subject came up on the other list just recently about fitting the HKS pillow ball mounts to the MKIV in order to provide camber adjustment. Could I please make clear to everyone that it is NOT possible to adjust camber using a pillow-ball mount on the MKIV. Fit them to look pretty by all means, but not to adjust camber. On some cars it is possible to fit a pillow-ball mount which gives you a handy means of quickly adjusting camber for track days, and so forth. But the suspension design of the MKIV precludes this.

Paul Booth Posted July 24, 2001 Share Posted July 24, 2001 I'm confused (I know, I know) but the MKIV has fully adjustable camber as standard. Why would you add something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ash Posted July 24, 2001 Share Posted July 24, 2001 Because it's a whole load easier simply changing the angle of the strut from the top-mount. Plus, not all cars have camber adjustment and adjustable pillow-ball mounts can provide a means for this. Yours, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted July 24, 2001 Share Posted July 24, 2001 Alright Ash, No need to get on my case about it - I made a mistake and have apologised for mis leading everyone. Chris soon put me in my place... Geezzzz.... you make one mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours, J When you say "not all cars" do you mean not all MKIVs because that was what I was referring to. I understand lesser metal has to have bits added but are you saying some MKIVs have to have surgery. If not, back to my point..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ash Posted July 24, 2001 Share Posted July 24, 2001 Alex.............. Please don't get upset. My post never mentioned you. In fact, I didn't even know that it *was* you who made the recent post. Nor did I know that CW had responded. My post was prompted by several private emails from people who were a tad confused by what they had read on the other list and they were asking me for my opinion. As I'd got several emails on basically the same topic I posted to the BBS as I thought it would be of interest to the group.

Rich J Posted July 24, 2001 Share Posted July 24, 2001 "not all cars" as in cars have haven't been designed with camber adjustment like the MkIV has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ash Posted July 24, 2001 Share Posted July 24, 2001 Paul, I meant not all makes of car. All MKIVs have adjustable camber standard. But some owners have fitted the HKS pillow-ball top mounts as they look kinda nice. Yours, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Booth Posted July 24, 2001 Share Posted July 24, 2001 ...and do they make nice whooshing noises too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ash Posted July 24, 2001 Share Posted July 24, 2001 Not yet but I'm sure me and Justin could come up with something. :biggrin: Yours, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a name-your-own-price market for useless/redundant kit which looks nice and preferably makes sporty sounding noises. Hmm! How about an aerodynamic carbon rear view mirror which pipes the sound of the exhaust up into the car. Better yet, how about piping the exhaust fumes up into the car.

Guest Ash Posted July 24, 2001 Share Posted July 24, 2001 Would make a nice option if you could direct exhaust at the passenger area only. Give someone a lift you don't like and asphyxiate them. Sounds okay to me. :biggrin: Yours, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
