bushes would be advised to go poly bushed or after market

if you can do them yourself then bonus just make sure you get them for the 2ltr

question: have you thought about getting a 1.8t instead?

yeh tbf if they havent been done yet then nows a good enough time really, i think you will have to either take the top mounts off for them or take the shocks out and put them on that way, though this is all circumstantial depending on the ride quality when the 18s are fitted obviously lol

lol cheaper too, like i say, give it a go without worrying about, 60miles trip should be enough for you decide really, or have it a week with your general on goings and then decide?  :undecided:
