Question Upper pillow ball mount??

Hey guys do you think that it's worth getting some pillow ball mounts??
I will be taking my car to the local autocrosses and was just wondering how much of a difference these would make.
And do you think $500 is a good price for HKS front and rear pillow mounts?? If not then what would you recommend??
Thanx for any help guys

I doubt the rear one will do anything. any flex there will not effect alignment. a front one would help. but it better be a camber plate for that much. and I don't know if it would fit on you springs without coil overs. most don't.

your money would be MUCH better spent on something else.

Fronts would definitely be camber adjust.&nbsp How much are the HKS units?&nbsp Cusco makes a set for $250 that's super nice and height adjustable!

As for the rears, it's actually a good idea to replace the upper mounts.&nbsp Yes, nobody I'm aware of makes an adjustable units, but the stock one is really thin steel - these have been know to fail and crack by autocrossers and road racers who run super sticky tires!

Oh cool, and the HKS ones for the front are also $250, just needed some advice if I should get them or not. But at least the fronts ones would be worth while correct??

The front ones allow you to adjust camber - something you need in an autocross.
