suspension parts to replace

Re: suspension parts to replace (igneousGOlF)

Evolution Sports sells the most complete H&R Cup Kit. Their kit includes additional items like:
1) front bearings and mounts
2) rear bushings
3) rear bump stops
I believe that's all the extras you need to change.

I should replace them with vr6 mounts right? what about the other parts like bearings

Re: suspension parts to replace (igneousGOlF)

Yes, the upgrade to VR6 mounts are highly recommended. You do have to purchase an upgrade kit, I believe, to do so. As for bearings, replacement is not absolutely necessary, but if you have (i guess) over 55,000 miles on your car do it while everything is apart. Good luck!

if you change to VR6 mounts... will a 2.0 drop kit stll work? or will you need a vr6 kit?

The 96.5-> kit will work with VR6 strut bearings. I believe the 93-96.5 (to VIN 70440 in 96) uses the late A3 suspension if you move to the VR6 strut bearings. I forget precisely what the difference is, but it has something to do with the struts and the diameter of the shaft.
It's also a good idea to change your ball joints while you're changing the suspension. It's another $35 and you don't need to worry about it for a while.
