Can anyone point me in the right direction for some adjustable top mounts for Bilstein B14s?

Cheers

Does anyone have a picture of these ground control top mounts installed? As I need to replace the factory ones I'm thinking of upgrading them instead combined with a set of PSS10's.

I had ground control top mounts fitted. They make a bit of noise compared to oem but allow for a lot of adjustment, great for fast road / track setups.

Check my build thread, should be some pics

Cheers Mike

Working backwards I got to page 130. Any idea what time you had them fitted? I would work it out if I knew a month/year  :grin:

I find using Google search returns better results than forum search.  I add the forum address in the search then whatever I am searching for

That's those sh*tty track rod ends making the noise.

I'm doing a new Ground Control order in the next couple of weeks to let me know if you want more adding to the order.

Hi Alex

Great, thanks! Do they fit to the MK5 ok without any cutting?
How much are they delivered?

Cheers

Hi Mike

Yes I did thanks, They look great but couldn't see a picture of them fitted to the car? I was thinking if any of the suspension tower needed cutting or drilling to make them fit. All of your pictures have the plastic scuttle tray fitted which covers them over which is a shame if they pop out of the bay. It would look great!

The strut tops aren't as visible in the Leon as they are in the Golf though :-)  As you say mine are hidden under a plastic cover
