    Just to clarify when I purchase my coils do I need to replace Rear LCA bushes aswell? or anything else? or should it fit straight in?

    Thanks

    If you are running stock bushes I would do it.

    Same with rear engine mount.

    Weak points that will eventually break and when replaced improve the overall front end feel.

    They aren't typically an easy DIY job, usually need a vice to do the job. I paid others, though forum members can better elaborate as to the tools needed. I suggest SeatSport ones, they are rubber so a bit softer than the superPro polyurethane ones. The rear engine mount is also called a dog bone mount, do your research as there's varying stiffness levels of the inserts, so will rattle and vibrate more. I haven't bothered with the dog bone mount on the daily, its still standard. Just know what you're offsetting by changing it.

    I have this one for doing those bushes. It won't do the Superpro's straight out of the box. i have a little trick for them.

    Had anyone tried the AP sports kit? Lowering but not coil overs?

    Yes best to do the rear LCA bushes, they are crap VW items. I did the fronts too but really no need. Search this forum fie heaps of threads on it. Cheers Al
