Hi guys :), would anyone happen to know if rear topmounts are still obtainable for said suspension ? Also has anybody heard /seen of a reaction from the topmounts fitted to the rear of a car :? , reason being I have first refusal on a set only both rear tops are all but useless, in fact one has crumbled so badly a mounting stud has just broken away and the other side is looking pretty much the same :shock: . Could this be avoided in the future assuming I sourced replacements ?

I have a set of the old Tein HA. Exactly the same has happened to the rear top mounts. I don't think replacements are available on their own but I intend to either modify a set of other top mounts or get soem custom adaptors made up.

There were a few options of top mounts but I am not sure which are still available.

I thought they still offered them for their SS 185 suspension, I think they may work for the HAs.

You might look at t3 top mounts. I got some and use them on my HAs since they have caster adjustment.

Hi Homer,
As i recall one can purchase camber adjustable rear top mounts as separate items from BC...



T3? never heard of them until now: https://technotoytuning.com/toyota/st18 ... ber-plates

^^^ cheers for the heads up

Here is a little vid I did installing them on the teins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vAebT2 ... 6KBWr0FklA

They make a lot of toyota bits, and trying to get into our chassis.

Thanks Guys for the recent input on this topic , good info about the T3 parts available :) . I didn't purchase the tein setup in the end although i did establish the rear mounts were still available separately .
