Also what was included in the suspension kit, looks nice?
Thanks
Max

Eddy was a no no. Suspension was far to harsh and considering it was new it felt worst than my 141k original standard shocks with H&R 30mm lowering springs. Nasty ride, banged and crashed and as for potholes, fook me I nearly had a ruptured spleen!!! Also wasn’t presented well. Dirty, had rust, and albeit the owner had mentioned this in the ad, it wasn’t for me!

Yup! The B12 Sportline is bloody awful. It doesn't even sit level on the car. Nose down, arse up. Anyone new to Bilstein would steer well clear of the brand after that experience.
That's why I was trying to get across the importance of the black Pro springs with MK6 spec B8 dampers if you value ride comfort :happy2:

Those console bushes are a Febi part, just for clarity. Audi don't sell the bushes separately. You have to buy the whole console, which doesn't work on a MK5.
Genuine Audi A2 bushes fit in MK5 consoles though, for another void less rubber option :happy2:
Good move on the TT top mounts. The stiffer rubber is needed to reduce damper rod movement over bumps, which also stops the annoying squelching noises you get from MK5 mounts with stiffer dampers.
