Hello,
Just chasing some information on adjustable strut tops for a 3rd Gen Magna, have been able to find one supplier so far, (Suspension Concepts) but seeing what else is around and prices etc and if anyone had any experience with any of them?
Due to class regulations I am unable to run full coilovers hence the need for the adjustable strut top.
Cheers
http://www.k-mac.com.au/ I run the stage 2 version of these.
Just too add...... theres plenty of room for castor adjustment with these, but physically not a lot of room for the strut to get a lot of camber.... fine for my road going car.
May be for your application, you could slot out the lower strut hole for more camber, similar to how the adjustable camber bolts work.

Hey Zero, I currently have one camber adjusting bolt in each strut, was just wondering for more camber whether it better with two camber bolts each side (its a race application) or for adjustable strut tops for the change
Figured it was for race. Sorry, the above posts are the extent of my limited knowledge on this.

Looking foward to it. Give us your impression of racing the FWD at the speedway.
Use a combination of a slotted top strut bolt hole to hub and a strut top very similar to the one Zero highlighted on the IPRA Magna's we run somewhere between 3-4.5 degress neg. Using the stut top to fine tune the settings.

Hi Guys,
RE: the front K-mac adjustable strut tops:
- Does a strut brace still fit with these?
- Does it raise/lower the ride height after install?
- How much extra caster are you running?.. ( I had the whiteline caster kit in last fwd magna, seemed to make the steering quicker with better weighting).
Thanks
