Has anyone tried these top mounts?

[Kliminati456]

Im going through my entire suspension soon and replacing much of it including top mounts. Has anyone tried the ones on this site?......http://www.compbrake.co.uk/TOPMOUNTS...I.html......if so what do you think of them.Thanks for your feedback

sorry this should work http://www.compbrake.co.uk/TOPMOUNTS...UNTS_AUDI.html

many many people have,

Janis has them on his S2 clone DD drag car. (fasterthanRS2)
Sean got them for his UrQ. (quattro v1.0)
John got them for his UrQ. (quattro87)
Mark has for his NASA road race CQ. (RSCoupe)
and there are a number of other guys over here i just can think their names right now....

these are all people here in USA. Janis is over here, but the other guys are MotorGeek guys.


i am waiting to have at least one race season on my brand new 034 mounts before i buy a full set of these for my drag CQ.

A lot of guys in the UK tried them for a while, the centre bearing wasn't very good though. There was a few threads with uprated bearing details

[Rusty]

A pair of decent bearings are almost the same price as the top mounts (£25 each).I recently spent £150 on a set of bearings for my new project...

promounts

If you go pro mounts then get them front and rear. My car sits 10mm lower at the rear and most of that is the difference in height of the front Promounts over the rear 034 voidless items

Compbrake (TAS) stuff works but as already pointed out its cheap and doesn't last.

Personally its a company I would avoid buying anything off especially the brakes !

[GazzaG60]

i have promounts MS1 variant alround.

hmmm i probably opened a can of worms with this topic ill probably steer clear of the compbrake mounts. I was originally thinking the 034 mounts. All I want is a mount that will last and have nice stiif feel. I just got in my kw v3 coilover and seeing how nice they looked next to the rest of my rusted suspension components is making me want to overhaul everything. Im not planning on tracking the car right now but my whole idea for the car is that if I wanted to the car could be set up nicly for it. I guess im looking for a mount that will work for the street as well as track.....Rusty are your 034 mounts street or track density?

I just bought some of the Meyle HD mounts off Pete @ QC. They look good, whilst the bearings are the same as the stock ones, the rubber is far more substantial and looks like it'll got on much longer before it collapses (my record is 2 weeks on a stock mount ).




Fitting these to the rear of mine tomorrow... fronts are staying stock waiting for Rusty's specials :mischeif:

Apologies, possibly slightly ot, but relevant,

hmmml. I just got in my kw v3 coilover and seeing how nice they looked next to the rest of my rusted suspension components is making me want to overhaul everything. Im not planning on tracking the car right now

When you have the kw 3 fitted, can you advise how it compares on the road/street compared to average condition std one or konis with std springs, if possible.

Also how easy is it to physically adjust, and when adjusted, is it easy to get it to the settings you are happy with ?

IIRC, kw 3 is adjustable for bump and rebound, "did" you find this was too much adjustability, or very useful to fine tune to what you wanted ?

tia.

Sure David I would have no problem doing that. Realistically it will probably be 3-4 weeks before I can get it done and give you some feedback. I basically plan on doing over the majority of the suspension(I dont think anyone touched any of the suspension components in the 20 year life of the car) so I am going to buy all the parts in one swoop $$$$$ and redo it all the right way (coilovers, top mounts, sway bushings, end links, tie rods, 034 aluminum front/rear subframe mounts (not anodized??), diff mounts, 034 Delrin control arm bushings, new rear control arms, front/rear ball joints, add 26mm rear sway bar, 034 spherical tie rods, 034 camberbolts or new oem hardware 14mm(anyone know where I can find these by the way), sandblast/powdercaot everything, add front wiechers strut bar(anyone fit one? I have to drill, etc, etc

[Kliminati456]

new oem hardware 14mm(anyone know where I can find these by the way)????

sorry brain fart.....US coupes use M12 hardware...I should know this since I had to tell kw when ordering the V3s not long ago

[andy10v]

I normally use the dealer for nuts/bolts etc that have to be replaced.
