What problem are you having, they are easy to fit really, all the holes are for caster / camber adjustment as required.

think you might have to get a grinder on the lip on the inside of the turrets. Basically you want them to sit flat against the underneath of the turret. Then drill! 3 holes are enough

when you fit them set them at max caster (the camber can be done on the struts) as that was you will have less camber loss as the wheel rises

I found fitting the topmounts to the suspension a ballache as the threaded holes weren't quite concentric. Basically they are never coming off my coilovers again  :laugh:

Apologies.  I thought a bit of THIS had been going on.  Never noticed that mk2's turrets are so much closer to the bonnet than a mk1' s
