You definitely will need harder top mounts. Mine are from the Seat Leon Cupra R, and I also changed the bearings.

    My car was tested on the track today...my handling mods were well worth it. I absolutely loved every minute I spent on the track. Now I'm off to find some track wheels and tyres, new Turbo, New FMIC

    That is super odd since AwesomeGTi is the one who I bought them from. Did you talk to Mike? This is what he told me:

    They are actually the same as the Mk4 Golf Platform so you could either use Normal Mk4 Mounts or Seat Leon Cupra R Mounts (these are a little stiffer and last a little longer)

    Thanks 32...!

     

    Didn't talk to Mike @ Awesome but will speak to him once I get paid at the end of this month as I have already spent this months car allowance (given to me and approved by my Wife) on the Weitec Coilovers... :happy:

     

    Next month I'm planning to spend my money on the new PowerFlex or SuperPro bushes :rofl:

     

    I'm really greatful for all answers and advice you giving me guys...!!!

    I can imagine it would depend if the person you got hold of on the phone looked at the wrong generation Seat Leon Cupra R, not the Mk1

    Possible...I didn't actually call them, I used their little online chat tool they have on their website.

     

    Trying to gather as much info as possible and what bushes and things to but so when I get paid I can go crazy and buy this stuff...

     

    I'm allowed to spend up to £200.00 a month on my orange beast and that's been approved by SWMBO... :whew:

    Pretty sure it will fit my Fabia too...?

     

    I guess I can add this to my Mod list and fit it along with the H&R RARB...;)

     

    How much roughly is it and where did you get that from

    Looks like the orange beast is coming along nicely! I am so jealous of your £200 a month car fund! Lol

    • Author

    But you have an over £26,000 worth of the car so I think I'm more Jealous...!!!!!! We were thorn between ordering a brand new Octavia VRS/Yeti and keeping the Fabia for my Wife or Keeping the Fabia and Ordering Brand new CitiGo...And as we don't have the kids yet we decided to keep the Fabia but under one condition...

     

    I can spend a £200.00 a month on the Orange Beast... :rofl:

    Second hand around £50-£60. You're welcome to try mine for size before you buy one. May need a bit of modding of the vacuum box support like mine.

    There is also a set of 312mm calipers and carriers for sale at a good price too. They look great behind the Kentaur alloys
