Its actually very easy and so far they are working great, there is a little more road noise with them though. In this picture you can see on the mounts where the four allen bots go in after drilling.

    Ahh, cheers Elijah

    I still cannot decide what type to use. So far I could have: -

    normal stock(best ride, prolly least road feel - shortest life)
    uprated stock (slightly harsher ride, more road feel - equally shortest life)
    Meyle stock (1 user rated as best of stock for feel - equally shortest life)
    Mance mounts (harsh ride, best road feel but noisy- longest life)
    QRS mounts (harsh ride, best road feel but noisy - longest life)

    Basically I cannot decide, but since my S2 is a daily driver for now, I think the Meyle mounts may win. Once the car is no longer the daily driver, then I might consider the harsher, noisy solid mounts for the best feel.

    Wayya fink?
