Hi all,

Car is in garage today to get lows fitted, but I suppose it'll teach me to buy second hand parts but the strut tops have been sheered off the avo springs that came with my b8s.



So I've tried my usual eBaying but can't seem to find anything that looks similar. Is this something you can actually buy or am I gonna have to get all new springs? And if u can buy them am I used the correct name? And where can I get them?!

Thought just occurred to me as well that would the standard strut tops fit the avo springs? Cheers all

that looks a right lashup, those top mounts wont work with b8's as they use standard diameter springs

They were atop some springs that were on the b8s so that's maybe why they had to be bodged coz they don't fit haha.

So any idea where I can source sum?

SKR top mounts from ECP are about 45 a pair all in and even if you needed top spring cups from pug they are 11 quid for the big one and 5 quid for the smaller one so not too bad

Use Tweet5 on ECP to get 5% off. I just bought the SKF top mounts for under £40 delivered. Added to my long list of parts i'll one day get round to fitting to my car...one day!
