Cheap top mounts
« on: 02 February 2011, 17:34 »
Don't do it.

Combine the cheapest top mounts you can buy, so cheap you don't even get a bearing, plus coilovers wound down = new ones every.... wait for it..... 1342 miles.  :shocked:

My knocking was the top mounts.  :rolleyes:

Buy cheap, buy a million times.

Where all my moneys went.

were they actually lemforder though? ecp have a habbit of sending you cheap crap even though their website says they're lemforder.

mine were lemforder off ebay, and they were definitly oem. even had the vag part numbers on them ;)

They were in the box. I tend not to question what's in the box if I asked for that brand.

They haven't lasted. I thought they may have been for a lesser model as they seem to struggle with the weight.
