Which TEIN pillowball upper mounts will fit the front and rear for our Lancers. Lately I've been seeing more and more people adding these to their cars. Definitely a needed item on my car. What part #'s for what other cars are people using for their Lancers? Thanks a bunch!! Merry Christmas!!

 

heres a stupid sounding question for ya, can someone explain the function of pillowball mounts to me ? Ive never been very well informed on suspension stuff.

 

Walkingchaos, Pillowball mounts allow you to adjust the camber where it really matters (the top). Ideally, when you adjust camber, you want the shocks to be adjusted to that angle as well. And better still, you can mark the plates to allow you to switch back and fourth between settings.

Now as for the original question, the last time I emailed Tein, they said that none of their pillowball mounts fit the Lancer (and they don't think the Evo ones will fit) but JIC makes some for the Lancer, with the disclaimer that some drilling might be required to fit them to any suspension other than their own (unlikely, but possible). Their website is www.jic-magic.com best of luck!

 

btw, you didn't mention which suspension setup you're currently on. And for the record, I spent all of my autocrossing days on a custom made camber kit (drilled out 1 hole on each shock) and it did pretty well. Unless you're seriously competing, the pillowball mounts are not really that important.
