i have herd good and bad things about them
their abit tricky to fit (bolt holes did'nt line up iirc), but once they were fitted, people where very happy with them.
unfortunatley i cant remember what thread it was in.

They are not intended for road cars and do not last long. There are no seals and no bushings so you get play in no time. As soon as they start salting the roads they can fail in weeks. So race only item really. I have only fitted them to AXs but hear they can be a pain on the Saxo.

I did some reading about this article and a lot of people had
the problem that the holes don't align... And if they wear out quickly, i'm better off using the GR.N topmounts...
Thanks for the info!

looked at fitting something similar to my dads old racer but to make them work properly we would have had to cut the strut tops. i would say dont bother if you have doubts.

they dont line up properly you will have to drill new holes even the non adjustable ones dont fit from them!

As above, they dont fit due to incorrect PCD, i actually sent them a standard top mount to compare in the end and got a refund. To my knowledge they still havnt reviewed the product and got them remade accurately
I wouldnt fancy bodging them and filing/drilling out the holes to match UNLESS you're willing to get some reinforcing plates welded to your top struts for which the matching holes could then be accurately made to match the compbrakes but again this is extra cost
Pugsport Group N ones would be a wiser option
