Car is lowered, has been for a while now and no noises from the front.

I'd heard some stories that there had been a dodgy batches of Febi top mounts, and as I am fantastically lazy I only wanted to take the suspension apart once.

The car is lowered on eibach sportline springs, fk lowering caps on sachs shocks

since end of march this year. Like where you are the roads round here are rubbish, they might as well have been ploughed. Also have to bounce up a high kerb onto my drive as well as loads of speed bumps.

The original mounts weren't in that bad a knick either, just replaced everything whilst it was apart.

I got cheap top mounts fitted to my last mk3 project, one of them split before it even seen the road. Was more or less driven in and out the garage and turned round a few times.

a lot of febi stuff is now made in china and the quality has suffered!

Meyle or lemforder are best (just a bit lot pricier)
