• What is a decent brand of strut mounts for the mk1 rabbit? Are Moog or Febi any good?

• I think some are hit and miss, but every Moog product I have installed on my stuff is still on and going strong. I did pay 50.00 for 1 ball joint for my mk2, but I can tell already it is going to last longer than all the other parts I put on with it.

• Thats good news.  I hate replacing parts again and again and again. Second question would be where the heck do I find spring seats for the front and rear? Do I reuse the old ones? My mk2 spring seats rusted something terrible. is this an issue with the mk1's?

• Also what springs will last a decent amount of time? MOOG? RAYBESTOS?

• There are earlier strut/bearing mounts that last alot longer and can use a replaceable rubber bushing from a Fox.

  Very true, but the early mounts are pretty scarce and get $100+.  Add the cost of the bushings and you're getting up there.  Last summer I sold a good set with stock bushings and new poly; I think I got around $150 shipped.
  
  I've also heard people getting more life from the later style by pumping the bottom full of 3M Window Weld.
