Title: Coilover fitting - Top Mount Query
Post by: AnDub on November 03, 2016, 06:51:57 pm

So i'm changing my standard springs and shocks for coilovers

Would you recommend changing top mounts (i did this on my old Mk4)?

If so, which top mounts should i opt for?

Please provide links

Depends on the milage I suppose.

Wouldn't harm changing them whilst you can but I didn't on my old mk4 and had no problems or noises and that was at 80k miles.

Don't suppose you have a part number for these buddy?

I've just changed mine but the supplied OEM items are the wrong ones and the spring won't sit on the bearing correctly.
