You have to swap the left and right top mounts. They will only mount one way.

I thought it was swapping the top mounts left to right?

As 2ndy says,.. could someone explain a bit clearer what's involved with the "flipping" of the top mounts please? Can it be done on standard top mounts? I'm guessing not...but I haven't seen otherwise as yet.

any info, or even better photos would be good ?

Thanks

In what way to you flip them? Be interested in doing it for abit more castor for free

I say flip, swap would probably have been a better word, use the left mount on right, right on left.



Thats all area do to their yellowspeed 'track' coilovers.

Looking at the rsx manual, facelifts have more castor than pfl's so im not sure what they changed there.

Yeah what Fez said , I believe the Facelift has it's strut tower closer to the cabin, hence giving more caster.

So normally the top mounts would allow side to side adjustment for camber, but swapping them allows more of a diagonal adjustment by the looks of it, increasing caster?

Correct, you gain caster and camber at the same time. I've got -2.00' camber and whatever caster maxed out gives me.

Ah, fair enough. I did say think or words to that effect!

Just face it, Christopher. You were wrong.

A very rare occurrence, Kevin.
