Audi 80 Top Strut Mounts

[aymen_a22]

I have been thinking about using some audi 80 top strut mounts in my Leon as they are supposed to fit better but I'm not sure what I need to buy to fit them to standard suspension.

There seem to be a few guides but they all seem to be with coilovers.

Does anyone know what is needed need to change them, I think it is the following:
Audi 80 mounts
Spacer for under the mount
Barrel nut
Top mount cup (the bit you see under the bonnet)

Thanks.

Not heard of this (though never looked into changing top mounts) but when I had my B4 Audi 80 I was forever changing the top mount bushes as they are a known weak spot on the 80's.

I changed them about 3 times in the year and half I had the car. I has Weitec shocks and springs fitted so was stiffer than standard

What is the problem with the stock topmounts? In other words: why do you want to change them?

they are fitted like polo bushes or the polybush uprated bush. all of which are used to lower the car 5-10m

meters or cm's

There are "special kits" out there, you need the topmount + the scale on top to get the lowering you want.

Yes I have heard that they can lower the car by around 3cm (1inch) and apparently fit well.

I have found information on VW forums however I cannot find information for standard suspension.

More like 1cm, havent read anything about 3cm...

Yeah 5 TO 10mm

I don't really understand why you want them tbh. Yes they will fit but why?

People only use them on lowered cars to get that tiny bit more.

If you want a better stock item, then buy a lcr one.
