forgot to add- these are up for sale as I bought them to replace the OE top mounts, but then got involved on a group buy for some MRT/Noltech adjustable top mounts...

so these are genuinely surplus to my needs.......

£40 inc postage.

At that price- I think not
They are second hand from HDCSubaru.

I bought them just in case my MRT ones didnt work out- but they were fine.

I just want what I paid back, the RA ones havent even been on my car..

chrome, what's involved in fitting these? Is it a full suspension out job, or can you take the old top mounts off and put these in place?
Just wondering if it's worth doing on mine after fitting the kyb adjustables and eibachs
Are you at scoobyshootout on sunday, if so, I'll see you there. I've got my kids, so bring polly along

chris.

ps, cars looking sweet with black wheels m8, may have to do the same

old top mounts off, replacements on.

you WILL need your geometry doing tho imo to allow for any movement when the tops are off.

I am at shootout, but Poppy won't be attending.. seeing as Im competing.
Plus SSO is my 'boys day out'

Cheers for the nod about the wheels.

thought you already had eibachs??

posted up on this last night at work, but it doesn't seem to have worked
anyway, yes, I already have eibachs, but i want to know if i'll notice a big difference in the handling, or will it be only a small difference.
bearing in mind the cost of fitting, and the redoing of the geometry, I'm looking at a bill for over a ton fitted!

chris; I dont think you would notice anything immediate other than a little more NVH due to the harder rubber on the mounts..
I think it's more a question of durability with the bearings too in the RA mounts.

up to you mate.
Ask fellie for a more detailed answer.
