Hi fellow 9n3 owners.

I have been talking with K-Mac about their adjustable top mounts and have agreed a group buy with them if I can find 5 buyers including myself.

Price is $480US a pair +Air express freight is $85.
Group buy price on 5 kits would be $380 per kit. Air freight would be $30 per kit. Total saving of $155 US per kit.

Please bear in mind that we will incur import tax so this cost will need to be split amounts us.
Once received I'm happy to post special delivery FOC.

I have chosen these as they can be used with any type of spring (stock, coilover, etc), you can make adjustments whilst they are on the car so no need to remover the shock and there is no cutting required.

Here is a link and some wording from their site.

http://www.k-mac.com/pages/newprods/vw/vw.htm

QUICKEST / BIGGEST ADJUSTMENT And with K-MAC there is No jacking, strut removal, cutting/drilling of strut towers!
Just simply replace upper mounts and adjust precisely (under load) for both Camber and Caster.

Simply replaces upper strut mounts - No modifications

Patented design allows Quickest & Biggest adjustment.

With K-MAC there is NO HEIGHT INCREASE.

Can adjust accurately (under load).

Can install with factory diam. coils or adjustable coil overs.

Stage 2/3 INCLUDE EXTRA HEAVY DUTY self-aligning (no side-load),
Pillow ball centers.(PTFE lined)

I would like to get theses ordered by February 15th so if you're in add you name to the list.

Any questions just let me know.

Hey mate really sorry but it appears these are no good.

They are actually designed and made here ion Australia and it seems there is a reason no body runs them. Adjustable top mounts have always been a hot topic over here and the K-MACS have been tried and taken out.

Please see here for more details particularly Eddy's comments on both threads as he is the only one that has actually had custom strut tops engineered for racing purposes.

Thanks man. I had heard of a few guys using them over here so have put up a post on E38 to see what they have to say.

Looks like I may have to go down the H&R route if they're not good for my car.

This is a complete pain in the arse lol

lol sorry again. But if the dude in the something wicked thread come up with a solution we'll be happy campers once again

let me know what happens then! would have loved adjustables, if these dont work anyone recommend someone to make uprated ones?

Some guys are using these over here in the UK and they have also been revised since the first design.

Not sure what to do now

Interesting... So there were no fitment or adjustment issues?

2 people have confirmed there were no figment issues and they were happy with them. Slightly louder than stock but I would expect that anyway.

For what I need them to do they would be perfect.

So if your still up for it I know VW-Sam is so just need to find 2 others.

The exact wording in the reply was
"I guess theres a little bit of extra noise than a standard one but I wouldnt call it banging and crashing"
