if i fitted them underneath it would of raised the car by fitting them on the top it gives me more suspension travel all the turret tops they are bolted onto are 5mm steel so plenty strong enough .
will do Si.

Andy I have read why you've placed the top mounts that side of the strut top, is there not away the spring base can be adjusted to take away the movement in ride hight you're referring to?
It's just I hate seeing the top mounts on that side of the strut top lol
I just doesn't ever seem to make sense when I see it there.
