Hey guys I did a search on this but I couldn't find anything, so sorry if this is a repost.
I'm thinking of buying a set of Tein Super Street Coilovers for my 1999 Acura 3.2TL sedan. as seen here: http://www.tein.com/ss1damp.htmlSo I was just wondering, what are pillow ball mounts? Should I get them? The car would mostlybe for street driving, maybe some track driving once or twice a year. Thanks in advance.
What are pillow ball mounts?
Re: What are pillow ball mounts? (bassinasilvia)
The short answer is that the pillow ball mounts will aid in your suspension tuning efforts by allowing you to the slight adjustment of camber angles. Most camber plates will require some cutting or “adjusting” or the sheetmetal at the top of the shock tower to be accommodated. Yet there are some other pillow-ball mount designs that do not require sheetmetal to be cut, but the trade-off is tenability. Usually the bolt in camber plate designs (such as those offered by K-Mac), offer a smaller threshold of tenability (fewer degrees of adjustment). Quality pillow ball mounts also dispense with the rubber bushings and mounts that normally secure the top of the strut and also help dampen ride quality, so expect a firmer ride. No one steps up to serious coilovers expecting plush ride quality, but the handling advantages and ability to easily swap coil spring rates, adjust ride height, and tweak strut angles, makes them the clear focused choice for those seeking razor-sharp handling.
