Standard ones should fit and you should have no issues with the top mounts,  advisable to change bump stops as they are always shagged :smug:

I find that the front bumpstops are usually fine, its the rears that are shafted.  But TBH may as well buyt newuns for the price of em!  Agree with sac, G60 mounts are a worthwile upgrade too :)

Wow cheers for the offer , tho looking at those i aint sure if thats whats missing??

Thr rubber things (????) that go over the screw thread and sit at the top of the arches below the top mounts (the rears have em in pics and look different to the ones you have?) , the fronts have no rubber so thats what is missing i think.
Or maybe im stupid :/
