nia573 0 Posted October 11, 2006 I need to replace the crappy GSF standard front suspension topmounts on my Mk2 since they’ve seen better days. Some say to replace them with G60 items like these: http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=410 Others have replaced them with the VR6 type, with the separate bearing Which is the best option for everyday use? If I do use the VR6 type, are these a straight swap for the standard items? Do they raise the front by 10mm as some say? I’ll replace the bumpstops & the dustcovers for the shocks too while I’m at it – is there a better item to use for these too like Passat or later Golf items?? I believe that C&R sell these front items as an upgrade kit for the Mk2 but it costs close to £100! I’m sure it can be sourced cheaper than this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted October 11, 2006 The ones VW spares sell are the same as GSF sell, FEBI - they are cr4p! Don't buy the VR6 (Mk3) ones from the above either as the bearings fail - VW now sell mk4 bearings... You also will need the top plates and a nut (threaded bush) - if you expalin to the dealer what you want to do they will find the parts on ETKA by comparing the two...

Crasher 3 Posted October 14, 2006 Absolutely old boy! There are conditions such as not on top of other discounts or on genuine VW parts but by and large, yes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
