Title: 8v suspension question??????
Post by: Martz on 26 February 2009, 18:38

I put some VR6 top mounts on my Rallye when I changed the suspension, I done this because Darren at G-Werks recommended this for the Rallye. Am I right to think that I will be able to use VR6 top mounts on my 8v? I have just bought a second hand set of springs and dampners and will be fitting these on Monday. Any advise would be appreciated.

They will fit.
I don't think it's a straight swap in the same way g60 mounts are, you need a few more mk3 suspension components iirc.

Hopefully someone will be able to tell you which :)

I believe you would need to change the top spring plate as well.

Yes. G60 mounts will also fit and are stronger than the standard mounts.
