Right folks, I am booked in to have a set of coilovers fitted on Friday.

My car has done 100k, so I'm guessing that it's wise to also replace bump stops and the top mounts.

Are the top mounts sided?

Are top mounts for rear needed?

This is a list of what I have got to order so far:

2x top mount: http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=1452

2x bearing: http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=180

2x front bump stop: http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=182

2x rear bump stop: http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=184

Anything else that I'd need to get?

Replace bushes on antiroll bar with poly ones and new droplinks. Theparts are not too dear if you have everything off and doing for wheel alighnment saves in the long run :yes:

Might be worth looking at track rod ends and droplinks also if they haven't been changed, IIRC track rod ends were £8 and droplinks no more than £12-£16 I'd imagine. ARB bushes are a good idea as well as console bushes if they are still oem.

Droplinks and console bushes only a few months old.

Various ARB bushes are listed here: http://www.vwspares....asuspension.php

Any idea what size is required for the vRS?

19mm i ordered for my vRS mate.

What coilovers you getting? you shouldnt need front bump stops as they are normally included in the coilover kit?

And for the rear bump stops get the ibiza cupra ones, they are much shorter and therefore ideal for coilover applications.

I've gone for Weitec Hicon GT

I'll have a look at them tonight as I already have them

Weitec have them included bud

So all I really need to get is the top mounts and bearings?

Can you show me which bushes you got exactly?

Out of the ones above, there are two options.

19mm bar, 19.8mm hole

19mm bar, 17mm hole

http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=798

I thought the ARB on the vRS was 20mm though?

I got the 19mm ones which are listed on Awesome GTI's website. (three listed on there 17 18 and 19)

Right, have now ordered everything.

Hopefully will arrive in time for tomorrow.

Have to say AVS have been very helpful with all my questions.
