Any other topmounts fit the mk2?
« on: 12 July 2011, 18:39 »
The daily seems to eat top mounts. I always use genuine g60 front mounts and they last about a year and a half of daily usage.

Harsh coilovers dont help but is there a stronger topmount off other models? mk3 vr6? Would that fit?


Tired of changing these.

Have a search, there are details on fitting the mk3 mounts, I cant remember the list of bits needed from the mk3 though. They are supposed to be tougher....

Yeah get the mk3 ones, you need a couple of extra bits, but these can be bought from the dealers for very little

From what I have read, VR6 top mounts are not heavier duty

Think ill stick with standard parts then.

Only get 1.5 years TOPS for a front set. Not good as it adds up (cost of specialist lowered car tracking etc)  :sad:

VR6 ones mate, chat to G-werks as he charges a fair price for everything you need.
