Lowering Top Mounts

Lowering top mounts for additional drop and optimum suspension performance

Vehicle tuning is far more than just a hobby for many enthusiasts – it is a true passion. Alongside coilover suspensions, air ride systems or sport springs, lowering top mounts are one of the most effective measures to squeeze the last bit of drop out of a suspension setup. By using specially designed strut mounts with a reduced overall height, the strut is guided deeper into the strut tower, resulting in an additional lowering of the vehicle’s ride height.

Our range includes high-quality TA Technix lowering top mounts for numerous vehicle models. They not only provide additional lowering but also deliver a reliable and smooth strut bearing.

What is a lowering top mount?

A top mount – also known as a strut mount or strut bearing – connects the suspension strut to the vehicle body. It sits at the top of the strut inside the strut tower and allows the strut to rotate during steering. At the same time, it absorbs forces transmitted from the strut to the body and dampens vibrations as well as road noise.

A lowering top mount differs from the standard strut mount through its reduced overall height. This causes the strut to sit deeper in the tower, lowering the vehicle by an additional 10 to 25 mm depending on the version. Lowering top mounts are typically fitted at the front axle and feature a sealed ball bearing that ensures smooth and low-wear rotation.

When are lowering top mounts used?

Lowering top mounts are mainly used when the vehicle already features a coilover suspension or air ride system and additional lowering is desired. They are installed in conjunction with the adapter plate of the respective suspension kit and are not compatible with standard struts or the standard spring diameter at the upper tower.

In addition, lowering top mounts can help reduce suspension noise. On lowered vehicles, the original mount plates may occasionally rub against the strut tower. By fitting dedicated lowering top mounts, this contact is eliminated and the suspension operates cleanly and quietly.

How does a lowering top mount work?

The lowering top mount is fitted in place of the standard strut mount at the top of the suspension strut. Due to its reduced height, the position of the strut within the tower changes – it sits lower, which reduces the overall vehicle ride height. The integrated ball bearing continues to allow the necessary rotation of the strut during steering.

Combined with a coilover suspension or air ride system, this results in a particularly low yet harmonious vehicle stance. The lowering achieved through the top mount complements the drop provided by the suspension itself, creating a cohesive overall appearance.

What should you consider when buying lowering top mounts?

When purchasing lowering top mounts, several important factors should be considered. First, make sure the mount matches your specific vehicle model and installed suspension. Lowering top mounts are exclusively designed for use with coilover suspensions or air ride systems and are not compatible with standard strut components.

It is also important to choose the right lowering level. Depending on the manufacturer and version, different drop values are available. Additionally, the mounting points on the strut tower may need to be prepared correctly – in some cases, new holes must be drilled using a supplied template.

Since lowering top mounts generally do not hold a standalone road approval, it is advisable to check whether registration or an expert report is required before using them on public roads. High-quality materials and precise manufacturing are essential for safety and durability.
