vr6 strut bearings?

I heard that the v6 strut bearings are a little stronger than the g60 bearings. Do these just bolt right up or is there some extra parts that you need? Thanks.

You can buy an VR6 conversion kit from Velosity Tuning and others. It will cost you around $100 for the set, but the bearing are supposed to last much longer and work better. I did it when replacing my suspension this summer. I'm happy I did it, but6 my ols suspension was so beat I can't give a subjective opinion on the bearings by themselves.

VR6 are definitly stonger. I put em in all my A2's, conversion kit raises the front like 15mm though. A small price to pay for performance, and you can still get the Bonrath lowering caps if you so desire

How much lower will the bonrath lowering caps lower the car?

I think like 20 mm, maybe 15mm I'm not sure

ttt
will these vr6 strut bearings fit in my g60 w/o modification?
what is so special about these kits?
Re: vr6 strut bearings? (RACEFACE2)

they will fit the G60, just remove your spring hat and put on the VR6 one, then the bushing and bearings bolt right on (you can use your G60 top cap, the one seen with the hood open, or you can get a Vr6 one)
