SuperPro Offset Top Mounts with Added Camber

Description

Tackle unwated understeer and front end vagueness by installing the excellent SuperPro Offset Top Mounts.

What makes SuperPro Offset Top Mounts unique?

SuperPro’s Top Mounts give 1.4 degrees of additional negative camber versus the OEM top mounts.

The offset bearing is located inboard towards the centre of the car’s chassis, instead of being positioned centrally. This means when the top of the coilover assembly is inserted into the offset bearing, the extra camber is applied, and can now be factored into creating a better setup for your car.

This is unique as the standard OEM top mounts and suspension setup offers no level of negative camber adjustment, which makes SuperPro’s top mounts the only way of exploiting the benefits of negative camber on handling.

Why would I want to install SuperPro Offset Top Mounts?

Negative camber is essential for making a car handle better on the road or on track. This is especially important for all-wheel-drive cars that use the Haldex AWD system. As the Haldex system tends to primarily send power and torque to the front wheels, and only diverts power and torque when the front axle struggles for grip, in the dry it can lead to cars understeering during fast cornering.

Without negative camber, cornering forces are transferred across the tyre along a shearing axis. This means the forces are being exerted across the width of the tyre perpendicular to the direction of the rotation of the tyre, which is not desirable when trying to extract the most grip from the tyre.

Increased levels of negative camber helps to alleviate this by changing how the tyre, and the loads transferred throught the cars chassis to the tyre, interact with one another. Negative camber helps to convert the shearing horizontal force into vertical force, which is far more natural for the tyre to contain and manage.

During hard cornering, a tyre with negative camber will also be using more of its available contact patch compared to a tyre without, due to the forces being exerted on it.

This additional mechanical grip will really help to transform the behaviour of your car on turn-in and throughout the whole corner.
