No probs mate will do.  I'm just about to go out and get the work done.....feeling like absolute sh!t....a few too many vodkas/gins last night! A nice fry up in Tesco should sort me out

i was supposed to get up early-ish myself, but too many sherberts have hindered that slightly, to tackle my gearbox problems and finish off the painting on my 16v, owel! plenty time left still!

you know when you ordered the G60 topmounts did you order 4 or just 2 for the front?

[ScottMk2Gti16v]

I just ordered 2 for the front: ]http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=410

I also ordered a Rear Strut Mount kit  (from what I can see there isn't a G60 specific rear mount): ]http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=425

Other bits I also fitted were:
08384 Front Bumpstop  (x2) ]http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=641
19381 Rear Spring Plate  (x2)  ]http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=430
01525 Rear Bumpstop  (x2) £9.88 ]http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=629
170130 Front Shock Absorber  (x2) £100.20 ]http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=1464
105776 Rear Shock Absorber  (x2) £49.70 ]http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=1445

Only thing I overlooked to get were some boots - just used the old ones instead.


I've now got it all fitted and it's handling brilliantly, however my camber is out and the tyres on it are almost dead, so I'll refrain from commenting too much just now - as I type it's getting 4 new tyres and a full laser alignment, camber check, etc.  I'm picking it up later on and that's when it should be driving like (or better than!) new. 

I've got some pics but need some more, all being well I get them on here tonight.

cool, thanks mate. I need to keep referring to this thread as I am buying pretty much the same as you.
