Uprated top strut mounts ??
« on: 30 April 2013, 20:36 »
I've had my car looked at today and I've got a knock on the front passenger side when go over bumps and he said its ya top strut mounts and said I need some uprated 1's , the car is lowered on coilovers if that makes a diffrence ? What does everyone else use ? Where can I get the uprated 1's from ? I've got the 2.0 gti on a v reg , thanks

Polybush if you want uprated, most people find standard mounts perfectly fine though.
