Cup kit is how the GTI should have looked in the first place - love it!

Cool. Have you replaced all the bushes or certain front one? If/any part numbers would be great?

Thanks.

i need these bushes badly, when i was trying some other wheels yesterday, when i was tightening my wheel nuts, with the wheel on the floor, the wheel moves really bad front to back! Because of that bush

You're a star, thanks for your reply. Another question for you, to do a 312mm brake upgrade, what exactly is needed apart from discs/pads?

White do you have a part number for the top mount you're replacing? Can it be done without taking the strut completely out (without disconnection the driveshaft), i think mine is definately knackered.

Ring Vag parts they sell them Â£7+Vat and yes its just the bearing part of the top mount and you need to remove the strut complete , dont remove the drive shaft, just undo the bottom ball joint off the arm (3 Bolts) and its then it drops clear!

Though so , wish i would have bid as it was full front and rear brakes and discs etc from R32 mk4 went really cheap too

is that the front wheel? I always wondered why mine rocked so much, thought it might be loose....
