WTB - Small Hole Adjustable Strut Tops
Hi Guys, I need some adjustable strut tops with spherical bearings to suit my late model MK2 with the smaller strut top holes. I have a set of Eurospeed ones to suit the larger hole MK1 & Early MK 2 that I'd be happy to swap. Cheers, Matt

That's one option Matty.
But I'd prefer to see if I can get away with keeping it standard if possible.
Cheers

Yea Matt, I was going to suggest the same as Matty. I have an old shell which it was done to and you can hardly tell. Plus you would get alot more adjustment with the larger tops.

Matt do these fit the bilstein shock? If they do i may consider buying them for my mk1 if you do me a super duper special price. Then you can just buy some new ones..  Otherwise i was just going to buy some eccentric ones.. eg: http://www.motorsport-too...ccentric-p-268217.html

Hey Mate, I'm not sure if the billies fit but the hole has a 19mm diameter if that helps. Do you mean a super dooper price that is good for me or for you?  Cheers Matt

Hey Paul,
I know I'm being picky but I'm really after similar type to mine with the camber adjustment.
Cheers

Matt, those ones do have camber adjustment. You pivot the top around to get the adjustment as the hole is offset. They are similar to what i have in the MK1.
19mm means they should fit with Bilsteins. Thats what mine are

Hey G,
Yeah I know the eccentric type allow for changes to camber and caster by their design but I am just seeing if there is a similar design to mine that allows for maximum adjustment.

I ended up buying a set of K-Mac adjustable strut tops so my ones are up for grabs. I am after $260 plus postage if anyone is interested. Basically what the new ones cost me. Just waiting to hear from evobda2 if he wants them but if not, it's open slather. Cheers, Matt

Hi Matt,
Ive since decided to go with eccentric when the time comes, as i've decided I want the whole strut area covered in.
Go for your life guys!!
Cheers
