I bought the TTRS / RS3 ones thinking they would be stiffer rubbers but turned out to be identical to my cupra ones, I think they are an upgrade for you though.  User: "The Bruce" would be able to confirm

Im getting ground control adjustable top mounts  :innocent:

Think its the spacers that make the difference...

I can get you the p/n for the topmounts if you like?

il speak to Dave Hawthorne tommorow last time i asked about top mounts they where on back order

ECS Bolts cheapest option firstly though, that might solve the problem

well im hoping its just the Subframe bolts that are causing it

But if its not then i can wait  :happy2: its been knocking for nearly 2 years , would the Cupra ones offer me anything extra even if they arent broke

I believe they have stiffer rubbers which would give a firmer feel, better response etc

Andy, with my AP brakes, They just about fit ok with the ET45 Pro-race I had, but need spacers for the ET54 BTCC wheels. I have a 10mm, but thats more than enough space.
