Suspension Noob :)

Hey mate,

Id go this one as its heavy duty and will last longer with the new stiffer suspension.
Volkswagen Golf III VR6 12v > Suspension > OEM > ES#7258 Heavy Duty Upper Strut Mount - Kit - 357331AKWSPLVWHD

And no thats just for the front
This is for the rear

Anything else you're after mate?

Thanks Zalemate, that's helped me a lot. I'll deffinitely be buying both of those so everything is in good working order! I think i've decided i'm going to buy CXRacing coils, as i've read a lot of good reviews on them, and they're still cheaper than most. Thanks again!

[Zalemate]

Good choice on the coilovers aswell. I think ill be getting some of them for my vento when i have the spare funds, Glad to help mate

A thanks from me as well Zale!

So the CXRacing coils don't come with strut mounts? It's $220 postage haha

EDIT: Sent 'em a message, and they don't

[Zalemate]

Not many do because its not a part of the actual strut.

$220 on the coilovers? thats not bad

So i'm going to purchase my Coilovers next week. With the strut mounts, someone told me the rears wouldn't need replacing, but the fronts deffinitely would. Can any confirm that? It'd be good if i didn't have to buy the rears as that's $100 in my pocket. I only ever see people changing their front strut mounts in DIY's also. Thanks guys

[Zalemate]

Yeah mate you shouldnt NEED to replace the rears as there is hardly any load on them compared to the fronts!

get it all bought!

[Blep]

Well i was thinking just get the Front Mounts and Coilovers, get it all in and be happy with it all, and later on replace the rears. I'm just such a stingy bugger when it comes to money haha.

I'm not sure yet, i'll be purchasing them sometime Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, so maybe i can get in and have a look at the rears? See how they are. But hopefully they can hold up another couple months? Hahah.

[Zalemate]

Im sure the rears will be fine. No one ever seems to replace them and they hardly cop anything compared to the fronts so you should be sweet
