Audi TT strut mounts do fit Mk.V and Mk.VI GTI
the bruce:
--- Quote ---Their rubber is about 30 % stiffer in both directions thus giving slightly better steering
precision and some minor advantages on cornering. Remember strut mounts are made
from rubber with a steel inlay.
These are stock Golf/GTI strut mounts (and bearings):
TT mounts look almost the same but have two teeth instead of one. The bearings
remain the same (but I'd always get new SKF ones when changing suspension).
I guess they also better withstand the increased forces of uprated suspensions
with deforming giving the bearings a more stable platform and longer life.
I had them fitted 7 months ago and the difference in feel has been clearly noticable.

Hmmm!
Needing to change my top mounts and was just going to go with the GTi version, much difference in price for the TT ones as I'd be interested in these :happy2:

They still work perfectly, Mike. Guess I never will go for pillow balls. :smiley:
Thanks again for you help. :wink:
I had the chance to talk to an Audi engineer who confirmed that the TT/Cupra
mounts are about 30 % stiffer.
ps:
It's almost the same old story as on the Mk.IV, where you could run the upper
strut mount of the Seat Cupra R on a Golf, which was also stiffer.
From what I remember some guys measured 65 instead of 50 on a durometer.
Guess it will be similar on the current platform.
