Lowering debate

Major problem, i got all the bits from vw then come accross some major issues.

There seem to be two types of mounts, bearings etc.. on ETKA can anyone help?

The top spring plate changed from 60mm to 80mm I believe, but all the top mounts are the same.

No all the top mounts are the same, you need VR6 spec.

Problem i have got i am not over confident that the new spring plates will fit and hold the springs. Also the hole in the middle is alot bigger.

As an idea could i use the old spring plates and put the new top mounts on? I've been told the strut housing is all the same on the mk3's!!??

Yes you can reuse the old spring plates.
