        All being well Kev, my car will be ready at the end of April or maybe earlier. I called in at the bodyshop this week and they are definitely on with it.

        For those of you considering the top mounts, I have also gone for the same theme with the rear diff, gearbox and engine mounts.

        Kev also did me the coilovers as well.

          Slightly off topic but I was wondering if Kev could make the sleeves of the cpilovers in stainless steel as they get surface rust fairly easily with the UK weather. Would be more robust.

              Those engine mounts won't work Steve,as our mount that fasten to the gearbox and engine have slotted holes the engine will move under load as the poly is too soft to clamp them,if the mounts were not slotted they would be ok

                  Sold over twenty pairs of these and no complaints yet

                  Stainless Steel threaded tubes would cost a fortune due to material costs and longer machining time

                            Any update on these top mounts Kev?

                            I'm getting desperate now for a decent solution, these "HD mounts" aren't worth a *****.

                                Has anyone tried either of these solid top mounts in there S2/RS2?

                                Im thinking of putting some in my daily driven RS2, am I mad? Will they put to much stress on the chassis?
