Suspension "spacer"

[Waspy]

It is currently at the garage. Going by what sgt lemon said, he will need everything bar the top mounts. So yeah, ill make sure to ask the exact parts he has used/ordered.

I uprated by top mounts to mk3 ones (just the rubbers) £30 for all 4 corners but your car will have definitely already had these.

yeah but you need the spring top plates and the mk3 springs if your converting to mk3 top mounts. well with the basic non coilover set up. the rears are same on mk2/mk3.

[Sgt_Lemon]

Has he even started the work yet? If its the spring top plates he is missing they he can't have gone near the car yet with the suspension, there is nothing keeping the spring on and compressed without that part. If you buy a shock and spring as a unit then the cup should already be attached.

[gazareth]

he is swapping from coilovers to the standard set up. so the coilovers im guessing have a different spring top cap and wont fit the standard suspension design. nah when you buy a kit of shocks and springs that is all you get. no spring caps/top mounts/nuts or top plates.

[Waspy]

He has started the work. I didn't realise coilovers shared so few parts with a shock/spring set up.

[gazareth]

if the original top mounts are on the car then all he should need is the spring top plates front and rear.

[Sgt_Lemon]

No the spring caps should come with the shocks, it's is what holds the spring to the suspension and has nothing to do with car mounting. Atm he has done zero labour if he is missing the spring cap so regardless of what part is missing the guy is lying. Get him to take photos of what he thinks is missing. I may be removing my rear suspension tomorrow to change the top mounts, will take photos.
