where can i buy new top mounts at??? i have my raceland coil overs but dont want to use the old top mounts can someone help me thanks??

 

I was looking for some as well and found these (or you could have google searched)

PartsGeek
ToyotaLexusScion - probably cheapest
Toyota Parts Barn - seems like it's sold in pieces

 

kinda curious why you dont want to reuse your stocks

 

^ asked the same thing.

 

watching!

 

just one of those things you get everything new why use an old part on the top id rather have it all new.

 

The top mounts are just a way of attaching the suspension to the body, they don't wear out.

 

First off they're raceland, they'll probably be blown in under 2 years. Secondly, the only reason you'd use a different top hat is to have ones that are camber plates.

 

This^

The stock hats are really strong the Zeal coils I recently had fixed, the camber plates up top got bent on both corners.

 

I have yet to see aftermarket camber plates for tC. If he gets a new set of top hats to put on his RL's then he doesn't have to deal with removing them from the stock setup, it just minimizes install time IMO.

 

No I have never seen just camber plates either; I'm just making the point that he's not gonna really find anything and even if he could the only reason he'd use different ones is for camber plates.

 

Found these on ebay - I'm sure more people would find them when searching, if he spelled 'camber' correctly in the title.......

^Nice find, I think that'll be useful for those running RL, Rokkor, any other coilover w/o top mounts, that drive slammed with wide wheels.

 

For the record, top mounts do wear. I'm sitting here at work and I just gave one of our techs a mount 5 minutes ago.

 

I was thinking of getting them, just for the hell of it, try them out. I have Tein Basics, which use the stock tops. Would be nice to have some adjustment in the front, already have Hotchkis adjustable camber arms in the rear.
I drive almost 100 miles a day, and get camber wear on the inside edges of the tires after a while. Being able to prevent some of that wear, and get more miles out of the tires, would offset the cost of the top mounts over time.
