hi all,
i got some coily's on my car, but want standards, so i got some, but the haven't got the metal top plate, that sits on top of the springs, and between the chassis? i don't know the technical term for it, i can't use the coily's ones as they are much smaller! also i might need the rubber part aswell? what's that called also?
i think i will have to go to a dealer and get financially raped! lol

thanks!

metal top plate? I'm guessing you mean the part that sits directly on top of the spring?

The rubber part is the top mount, you might be able to get away with using the ones on the coilovers but that depends how long they've been on there

officially called in their fitted order :


suspension strut storage - rubber bit usually strut top mounting

axial grooved ball bearing - bearing sits under it

spring disc - metal bit that sits on top of the spring


if you look at the parts diagram it's pretty clear
