Hey man, quick question, when you installed the pillow ball mounts, did it "lower" the car more? Figured I'd ask you since you're running it, vs making a post about it lol.. Thanks man

I installed the pillow ball mounts with my pre-adjusted RS*R coilovers so I don't really know how much of an effect the mounts had on the ride height. Are you looking to install these with springs, coilovers, or OEM suspension?

I'm going to be installing them on my basis coilovers since they don't come with the top mounts.. I just don't want them to end up being lower because I hate adjusting ride height lol. Awesome build man!

Thanks for the comp on the build.

I'm leaning towards that any change in ride height whether + or - will be negligible.

Front Sway Bar Install :

Pretty straightforward install... no surprises or hangups.

Great looking part, perfect fitment... very happy with the purchase.

I'm picking up the Beatrush front tower bar, rear tower bar and strut tower brace.

Would i be required to get an alignment after that?

Awesome... you won't be disappointed.

You will not require an alignment... the installs will be very straightforward... let me know if you need any info on the installation that I did not address in this thread.

Do you have more pictures of the rear top hats? I'm thinking of picking them up but not sure if they will with as I'm not going to be running 60/65mm springs and am worried that I might buy them and not be able to use them.
Thanks! Great photos.

I'll look to see if I have any pics from when I tried to install them. I am not running those because when I went to install them, the supplied threaded spacer/collar was too small a diameter for the RS*R coilovers... so I couldn't accommodate the pillow mounts without acquiring the proper hardware. This was not an issue for the fronts though.

This is what I got for pics...

Collar / Spacer Interior Diameter



Shaft Diameter



Too small a diameter for the RS*R sports-i coilovers which are listed as ID 65mm. Beatrush pillow ball mounts are listed as ID 60mm.



Great quality just like everything else I own from Beatrush...just not the right size for my set up.

Hope this helps...
