    Guys,

    Just ordered the following bits for my Mk3 Golf 2.0 16v ABF as the suspension is GONE. Its almost unsafe to drive!

    I have ordered the following:

    1 x Weitec 30/30 drop Ultra GT Suspension Kit

    Powerflex Front Wishbone Front and Rear Bush
    Powerflex Rear Beam Bush

    Now is there anything else you think would be worth getting done at the same time, deeming that Midvw will be fitting all this.

    Is it worth getting some new Top mounts on all four corners and if so just standard GSF ones ok? I would presume the current ones would be knackered after 9 years!

    I can't wait to get it all fitted, as will be a new car!

    Anything thats done, and hopefully whats mentioned above will make it just a nice car to drive, don't need it for performance or need a crashy ride, just improved but stable and comfortable suspension!

    Any thoughts or advice and anything else worth doing at the same time?

    Rich
