My shopping list

[insomniak 0]

Im waiting for my new toys - Silverline-X coilovers. when these arive I plan to do the breaks/bearing etc. at the same time (well not me but a mechanic friend of mine)

 

So far I have picked out the following from GSF

 

60200F BRAKE DISC-BREMBO'MAX' CO VR6 34.50 x2

60342 BRAKE DISC-REAR(5 STUD) B CO VR6 19.15 x2

64325F BRAKE PAD SET-PAG.FAST RD CO VR6 8/91 32.50 x1

64601F BRAKE PAD SET-RE FAST RD CO 9/88 26.50 x1

41224K WHEEL BEARING KIT-FRONT CO VR6 8/91 21.50 x2

41311K WHEEL BEARING KIT-REAR CO 9/88 6.75 x2

 

hopefully I have choosen OK. I also know I will probably need top mounts etc

anything else that I will definately need??

 

Thanks..

Have all my parts now, just waiting on my shocks to be delivered (end of the week). nice set of silverline x coilovers :)

 

couple of questions if I may??

 

GSF sell a braided brake line kit but the girl wasnt 100% convincing that this was for the corrado - tho it was for a VR6. Will this be alright for mine?? mine is a 92 VR6..

 

Also, can any one think of any other parts I may need prior to me fitting this lot.. (top mounts, spacers etc...)

I need this list too fella, got a set of H+R coilies winging it's way to the IOM :-)

You should have the top mounts (VAG are the best quality) and rear bump stops changed as well when doing the suspension

[joebloggsVR69 0]

Rear bumpstops should be already included in the coilovers (I've got Silverline-X's too)

 

But yeah, you'll defo need new VAG front top mounts

[steve_16v 0]

Rear bumpstops should be already included in the coilovers (I've got Silverline-X's too)

 

So you're saying that you can get rid of the rear bumpstops if you put coilovers on? Never heard that before.

The goodridge kit says 'Corrado VR6' on it - the late Golf VR6 ones will not fit as they are for the 288 front brakes and therefore have the banjo connections.

No.. they are already on the pre-assembled coilover

Aaah, mine never came with them (at least I don't think they did :oops: ), I take it the silverline x's are different to the highsports in that respect?

[insomniak 0]

mine are due any day :) :) so Ill know for def if I need them.

 

Ill keep my order on hold untill I know.

 

VAG topmounts - dealer or GSF?
