Hi all,
Can someone explain to me what the difference is between Concentric and Eccentric top mounts please, and which ones should I buy for my Corsa GSi.
Cheers all

wth eccentric topmounts you can adjust the camber and caster settings on the front suspension. look at my topmount turtorial on here for more info.

For track application get eccentric top mounts, for the reasons Dave A said. Pointless for the road though.

I don't agree that they're 'pointless' for the road TBH.

Cool, I have coilovers on my car and loads of negative camber.
Would the eccentric ones be better?

not pointless at all, my car is used on the road and the topmounts (once set up correctly) were a massive benefit.

Pain to set-up though

They're not pointless for road use when you have pointlessly large wheels which make your camber sit all gay
