chrishill was organising a group buy

 

here you go!

 

and bumpstops from VW dealer

Ahh ok, in that case, as Supercharged says you will need new front top mounts (circa £15 each from GSF) and some new rear bump-stops (circa £10 a pair from GSF) as your current ones are probably disintegrating.

 

The rear bump stops will also need to be shortened by 30mm or so (easy to do with a knife).

 

If you really want you can also get new rear spring plates and top mounts as well. Again, they're not hugely expensive items but probably worth replacing. The top mounts are mostly rubber so will have probably degraded a bit over time and the top spring plate will almost certainly be entirely rust by now.

 

I think you can only get the spring plates from the stealers, but I'm pretty sure GSF also sell the rear top mounts.

 

Edit: and the bushes that chrishill is doing a GB on are probably worth looking into but aren't physically connected to the shocks & springs so can be done another time.

I don't think so, but I'm not 100% sure. I know that the Koni's use a different top plate on the suspension strut to the OE stuff. The top mount is the rubber donut type thing that fits under the top plate against the chassis.
