    Exclamation Rear Suspension Refresh Kit?

    now as most would have seen, there has been some discussion regarding the front refresh suspension kists available from ECS... for example...

    http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-.../OEM/ES248440/

    just wondering if there is anything available for the rear? i am about to order a front one, but was also hoping to grab something similar for the rear while im at it and to save on postage...

    they have this

    and this

    http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-...ings/ES261061/

    now im not too familiar with the rear setup on the MK4's, but is this all there is to replace?

    ive noticed that these two items seem to be made from nolathene for a more 'sporty' feel... would it just be better to just replace with OEM from the stealer?

    Dan, You need to get VW ones for the back axle due to the way it pivots, anything else wears out at a rate of knots.

    I'll see if I can find a thread on audi-sport.net about it.

    ahhh gavin, always a huge help

    ill look into the rear axle bushings then, however what about the stut mounts and bumpstops? they dont seem to be too expensive so may be worth considering?

    thanks for the links, but the one from audi sport doesnt come up with anything!

    cheers, dan

    I did a search on 'rear axle bush' on audi-sport.

    My mate HTC posted something but I couldn't find the right thread.

    There's also a rear suspension mount that you can get:
