MK2 Front strut bushing/ bearing upgrade W / G60 parts
« on: May 09, 2007, 06:47:24 pm »
Ive heard tell that you can upgrade the stock mk2 front strut bushing / bearing assembly with components from the G60 to increase ride performance.  Any one done this?  If so, would you care to:

A. Tell us about the ride difference.
B. Walk through the basics of the mod.

Thanks,  Jim

VR6 upper strut mounts, the only way to go with lowered cars!
I have them on both my MK2 lowered cars, they work great and available at most VW performance shops.

This is where I got mines.

Second link is the mounts at the bottom of the page.
