only doing the rears as there's no way I'd trust them as fronts, hopefully I'll see a couple of weeks out of these.

hey grayzor are they vw topmounts for the rear they look like a better option then the starlet 1s bolted on top starlet 1s will wear fast

trd top mounts I also used a large washer on the top of the spacer to hopefully stop it pushing through them

I don't know how they grind them rears down so good, it must have to be pretty level ! i might attempt it , with access to a band saw or surface grinder , not sure about the angle grinder bit ;)

yeh man , hacksaw blades are cheap enough :) I suppose its only a problem if there cut down too much or not straight. not bad for the price. I wonder if they handle and good compared to the big brands. never had coil-overs ! yet...
