    hi lads and lass's

    so ive been reading on here and seen strenthening the top mounts , i cant seem to find how thick the plate is thats been used ? also if any one had a drawing knocked up i could probabily get a few sets knocked up for people on here who wanted some ... ( im a welder/fabricater ) i have a good bos who will let me use the workshop facilities in my spair time ,

    so what are the benefits of doing this modification ? any feedback of anyone who has done this and been running it for a while ?

    cheers joe

    Only really needed if going to high poundage coilovers. just prevents the top mount area from deforming if you hit a sharp kerb on track on rallying
