    FACT : Often Quoted, Reassuring “ FULL FRONT / REAR ALIGNMENT” IS ONLY TOE “DIRECTIONAL” ADJUSTMENT !

    ( NEW CAR INDUSTRIES BEST KEPT SECRET )
    * Even Exotic, AMG, BMW ‘M’, Porsche 991 *

    All to do with cost savings & ever increasing speed of auto assembly lines


    .
    CAMBER:
    ALLOWS TO ADJUST TIRE CONTACT ANGLES, SPREAD LOAD MORE EVENLY. ESSENTIAL FOR MORE EVEN TIRE WEAR TRACTION, ALSO ADJUSTING FOR UNDERSTEER OR OVERSTEER.


    .
    CASTER:
    Allowing to adjust, compensate for Camber change. Also increase Positive Caster to reduce dive, lift under brake and acceleration. Improve high speed directional control, Better turn in, CORRECTLY RESOLVE STEERING PULL.

    When 2nd Best isn’t Enough ….
    ALL THE LATEST DESIGN BREAKTHROUGHS NOT FOUND IN OTHER BRANDS ….
    ( INCL. VERY LATEST 2021 UPDATES – SEE WEBSITE “ABOUT US” )
    WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT THE EXPERIENCE OF BEING – THE LONGEST ESTABLISHED MOST EXPERIENCED ADJUSTABLE STRUT PLATE AND BUSHING KIT MANUFACTURERS WITH PROUDLY “IN HOUSE” MANUFACTURE – NOT SOURCING IMPORTS / RELABELING. ALLOWING TOTAL CONTROL OVER QUALITY AND WITH IT RAPID, CONSTANT DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS (Do appreciate any constructive ideas you can suggest in how we can further increase our market leadership).

    Genuine KMAC STRUT TOPS – UNLIKE OTHER BRANDS NOT STEEL OR SOFT BILLET ALLOY : But the very highest 7075 aircraft grade aluminum with “Extra H/Duty” self align spherical bearings (self lubed – PTFE lined) then encased in elastomer to extend life / day to day commuting (centers are also “replaceable” for virtual lifetime usage) and designed for minimum stack height.
    KMAC Stage 3 unlike Stage 2, there is no elastomer / flex allowing for tauter / quicker response times! – More effective shock control. Specifically for full race applications where ride harshness and durability are not the criteria.

    ANOTHER KMAC UPDATE INCORPORATED INTO THE DESIGN : With KMAC we do not rely just on the “single spherical ball” instead separate radial thrust bearings are included to take the “Steering Loads” (which also resolves annoying spring drag/ noise/ binding). Massive 85mm (3 3/8″) diameter fully sealed bearings (again by far biggest in the industry) and also included are OEM diameter alloy top spring seats (along with separate seats to suit all brands of coil overs 60-70mm I.D.).

    FEATURES / ADJUSTMENT RANGE: Replaces the existing Strut Top Mounts (no modifications). Reinforcing the strut towers and with the unique KMAC patented design providing the biggest (and quickest) adjustment range of both Camber and Caster. Street/Race settings can be recorded and changed in 30 seconds – just the time taken to loosen the 3 top mount nuts. Another KMAC Patented design feature allows this fast adjustment to be made accurately (under load) direct on alignment rack.

    NOTE : SUPERSEDES THE CURRENT INDUSTRY STANDARD WHICH HAS BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS – ‘SLOT’ adjustment. Unlike KMAC are only available in a solid / uncompromising STAGE 3 Full Race version (steel sphercial bearings mounted on a non shock absorbing steel plate).
    THIS SLOT DESIGN, BESIDES PROVIDING LESS ADJUSTMENT because of the need for access to the hold down bolts, is also time-consuming to adjust and on many vehicles requires removal of the strut.
    Note : Most brands the “single” spherical ball is also taking the steering loads.
    Unlike KMAC where all Stage 2 (Street/ Race) and Stage 3 (Full Race) incorporate purposely designed vertical thrust bearings ( these are fully sealed and massive 85 mm diameter). Reducing steering effort and preventing annoying noise through spring drag / binding.

    ON TRACK DAYS : ABILITY TO DIAL IN “EXTRA NEGATIVE CAMBER” TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE UNDERSTEER, in the pursuit of hitting these corner apexes every time and allowing to go deeper into the corners with increased traction and braking response. With the result of further lowering lap times in the quest for front row of the grid on race days ! (also see below front lower control arm adjusters for extra adjustment.)

    RESULT : Finally – The adjustment capability TO CHANGE TIRE “CONTACT ANGLES” to correctly resolve costly premature edge tire wear and steering pull. The result of other than showroom height conditions – day to day commuting, encountering high cambered roads, altered height through load carrying or lowering, fitting wide profile tires/wheels and curb knock damage. Along with the ability to improve traction understeer/oversteer.

    *ALSO ● ● ● ● SEE COMPLETE RANGE OF “FRONT AND REAR BUSHINGS ” 1st. ITEM TO FAIL. ALL THE VERY LATEST DESIGN BREAKTHROUGHS (Experience of manufacturing performance bushings longer than anyone else – 1964). Resolving costly, premature bush wear with resultant wheel tramp, vibration, loss of traction under brake and acceleration.

    CHECK LIST / EXTRA FEATURES KMAC BUSHES VERSES OTHER BRANDS: Where other brands merely replace “OEM rubber bushes with urethane “ to eliminate the OEM oil and air voids in the endeavour to improve brake and steering response. The problem here is that with today’s autos multi link arms and different mount angles, this inhibits the suspension arms traveling through their required arcs which can cause even more wheel tramp / loss of traction with arms binding, locking up and lead to breakage!

    KMAC bushings therefore where required are “Mono ball / 2 axis / self aligning ” with the unique design providing more than two and a half times for both the load bearing area and shock absorption over of OEM bushes.

    This KMAC design breakthrough also finally resolving once and for all the issue with “steel spherical bearings“. Their wafer thin teflon style liners used soon pounding out with resultant metal to metal contact, noise.

    Also because of ever increasing speed of assembly lines all today’s Autos now only have Front and Rear Toe “directional adjustment”. “NEW CAR INDUSTRIES BEST KEEP SECRET”, KMAC FRONT & REAR KITS ALLOW TO CHANGE TIRE CONTACT ANGLES – ESSENTIAL TO RESOLVE COSTLY, PERMATURE EDGE TIRE WEAR / CORRECTLY RESOVE STEERING PULL.

    THE ACTUAL KMAC “PATENTED DESIGN BUSH ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM” HAS REVOLUTIONIZED THE INDUSTRY – PRIOR TO THIS – THE LAST 40 OR SO YEARS HAS REQUIRED THE NEED FOR LABOUR INTENSIVE DISASSEMBLY AND BUSH REMOVAL. THEN THE INACCURATE TRIAL AND ERROR NEED FOR BUSH REPOSITIONING EACH TIME TO CHANGE ALIGNMENT SETTINGS. INSTEAD NOW WITH K-MAC WE HAVE CHANGED ALL THAT – IT IS PRECISE SINGLE WRENCH ADJUSTMENT ACCURATELY ON CAR (UNDER LOAD) DIRECT ON ALIGNMENT RACK. THEN SECURED BY THE K-MAC UNIQUE “POSITIVE LOCK” SYSTEM.
