All the front top mounts are the same, try and get the Febi ones if you can.

Buy them from here buddy. I've got parts from here before and it's great value for money.

Febi rear top mounts (this is a pair)

Front top mounts (this is singular so you'll need two)

to replace top mounts on coilovers do you need a spring compressor?

You don't really on coilovers, I never bothered. Infact you can do it without on standard if you jack the car off the spring.

I'm wondering whether to just go for some cheap £13 for two mounts this time.

Costing me a fortune! Got genuine last time and still only last 6-8k miles.

Where all my moneys went.
