In layman terms what do these do?

[TinTin]

read! it just firms everything up. the rubber grommet upper mounts on the strut/shock assembly flexes supposedly causing camber changes that cause a decrease in grip.

To be honest, i didnt see hardly any camber change when i had my coils installed. i dont expect it to change that much under hard cornering to adversely effect my grip.

Finally as i mentioned earlier, cusco is known for having the spherical bearing in their pillowball mounts to wear out sooner than they should. Granted, sphericals are going to wear out, its a bearing its meant to die eventually.

A good question to ask saku would be if the sphericals are replacable. Im pretty sure cusco is pretty strict about who services or replaces parts on their products.

also it says there that these mounts are for cusco coilovers only, and will increase the vehicle ride height...

Just a few corrections from what I can read.

It actually says you can adapt it to other setups using collars and the suspension was only raised on the swift and vitz.

That being said 400 bucks is alot considering these don't allow for any camber adjust.

The camber this is supposed to address is when you take a turn under hard load the rubber mount flexes, the strut assembly moves left or right and adds camber to the car. The reason this is bad is generally you gain positive camber on the inside wheel of the corner (I think)

I think you guys have too high of expectations when it comes to pillowball mounts haha. While I don't think this is as good as the traditional pillowball mount with adjustable camber, I believe this is a much better option for those who want better handling. The Rubber mount is pretty flimsy, so this in addition with some front chassis reinforcement would provide some fairly stiff front handling

I see it now...

I do understand how this is an improvement but I had TEIN upper mounts in my sentra and they were camber adjustable. They were also super noisy !

well the front upper mounts for cars like the CR-Z, Fit, and Yaris all have a different design than the generic car, which why the CR-Z doesn't have a conventional front strut bar and why its hard to attach a camber plate to the front... while its pricy I think its a great addition to the performance market
