Re: Coilovers
I replaced the top mounts and bushes at unit 20 when I had the new bilsteins fitted.
Will look and see if part numbers are on the invoice.

Re: Coilovers
Top two items I believe.
Wow did I really spend nearly 6K at this visit.
Re: Coilovers
Thanks Steve, much appreciated. The Febi mounts mention Bilstein so I guess I’ll go with them.steve2003rs6 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 2:19 pm97062756-8167-4A93-88E8-DC7587F29DED.jpeg
Hope this helps Chris.

Re: Coilovers
Febi-Bilstein is a brand. I’ve always been satisfied with parts from them.

Re: Coilovers
I’m obviously being a bit blond here but when I ask for the front top mount via OEN I get told that the part Steve ordered doesn’t fit the RS6. Any ideas?
Computer says no!
Computer say yes but different OEN to Steve’s.

Re: Coilovers
Chris. I didn’t order them.
Unit 20 supplied and installed them.

I'd get the Lemforder or the Meyle one.

Re: Coilovers
Thanks Steve, I did understand that mate. I was just saying that for some reason it was telling me they won’t fit.
I’ve gone for the set Ben has recommended. I’ll post pictures when they arrive so others can be familiar with them should they refer themselves.

Re: Coilovers
I’ve just found this product which looks perfect for applying to the threads of the coilover once cleaned. All reviews I’ve read have nothing but good things to say. 
Thought I would share as those of you with shiny new coilovers might want to consider using this.
Helps if I add a link.

Re: Coilovers
Yeah, I like ACF50, I use a bit of it on the undercarriage now and again.

Re: Coilovers
Generally ignore the lookups. Buy based on part number is my usual guideline

Re: Coilovers
Exactly. We’re lucky to be able to look up the exact OE reference.
