Pillow tops - Cusco or Tein?
I desperately need to fit some pillow tops to the racecar. I'm tearing up the outside edge of the front tyres!! Need camber!!!! lol.
So I notice both Tein & Cusco make pillow tops for the FTO.
Which is the better options and where is the best place to buy em from?
TIA

I went for Tein from www.perfectrun.com.au a while back after a lot of good things were said about them on here. No regrets.
They were 17,100 yen back then, which is just over AU$200 at the mo. And about $40 for shipping I think.
You won't find them on their website. Had to email them and ask - Tein Front Camber Adjustable Pillowball Upper Mounts (Item code: PAR38-31PFR). Good exchange rate at the mo, so even if the prices have gone up, should still be worth a look.

If you can't dazzle them with dexterity, baffle them with bull...

There are brand new cuscos on Yahoo Japan at the moment. I can probably source teins as well (I know a site over there that was selling them but havent checked it for a while) Im pretty sure I can get front and rears as well (although the rears arent generally adjustable as the car itself has rear adjustment.)

Kmac's is kinda exi .. cusco is about 238 on perfectrun, with postage it would be cheaper then the kmacsShane001 wrote:Hey JoeJoe, do you have the model number? The FTO's not listed?
Also yours is the Stage 1 right? I'll probably go Stage 3
Cheers.
Call kmac if you want to go that path and they'll be able to price it for you. They also do springs for the FTO too. Last time I asked labour is about $300

lol, that's a bitch mate, don't u just hate finding sh*t like that out!
Yeah figured u wouldn't get much more than 1.5 to 2 degrees with those big arse springs on the front. Thinking I might be better looking for some adjustable coilovers, would be much better but just don't have the dollars...
Need to find me some product sponsors lol!
