corrado top mounts the same as mk2 golf?
« on: 22 November 2008, 22:30 »
as title, i removed some suspension from a corrado 1990 1.8 16v and just wondered if i could just put it straight on my mk2 without the hassle of changing the top mounts over?

ETKA says no.

They're G3 top mounts.

Will fit.

Might lift the front a little.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

They are the same I believe as the rado is basically G2 at the front and passat at the rear iirc

It will all go straight on. The only Corrados that got golf 3 mounts was the VR6, and very late post 95 models.  Even if it had MK3 mounts it would still fit if you put the whole lot on together, the MK3 top mounts are supposedly a good upgrade for strength.
The non-MK3 setup Corrado stuff is identical to MK2 golf suspention, using same top mounts as MK2 G60 just slightly different spring poundage (though the rado springs are listed for a random jetta model).
