even without mk3 mounts they will fit (most of the low mk2's now use the vr6 spec mounts)

Are they new top mounts?

A bit of grease up there will eliminate it.

Rear mounts upside down?  I have seen this and it is easily done.

Rear end is swaying and squeaking?

I bet the coilovers are used?

Sounds like its leaked its fluid. I hope I'm wrong though and they are new

They do sometimes squeak if they are not tightened down enough.
