buddy of mine has the purple set. he loves them. slightly more stiff then factory.. and hes been running them for 4 years now.

 

[Skimmer0220]

hmmmm, I"ve been interested in trying them as well

 

[fukn_dubn_gti]

i ran poly everything on my jetta when i had it static.. now with air i run the mkv style top hat / bushings BUT.. everything is poly.

i never had these though being i had a set of brand new ones laying around when i did the coils years back. BUT.. i would say.. upgrade to poly.

 

[rodgertherabit]

thats what im thinking. I added em to the cart already. ;-P

Figure if they are (street) polys im surprised more lowered guys dont use them. Id imagine they last longer than oem and are not unreasonably stiff

 

[fukn_dubn_gti]

alot of people dont know about them.. i suggest them all the time to kids who want me to install coils for them.. and theyre like really? they make poly strut bushings? where!?

youd be surprised.

 

[rodgertherabit]

I guess im one of those kids haha. I saw it on the site last night and was like..."WTF?! Since when!?!?" bahaha

 

[fukn_dubn_gti]

ohhhh jeebus
maybe i do spend too much time researching parts and sites -_-

 

[-vdub-]

i didnt know they made these either.. going to be putting these in soon, along with control arm bushings...again.

I have these: PolyBush Polyurethane Top Mounts (Pair) - Golf Mk4 etc + Lupo/Polo 6N/Up > Suspension > Golf Mk4 1998-2004 > VW Golf > VW Specialists > PSI Tuning - VW Specialists

Not only poly, but shorter like the polo 6n mounts. I really dig them.

do they fit incorrectly like the polos? or is fitment more snug

 

[Pssst...passed you]

Fitment is on point. I use half caps as well.

 

[rodgertherabit]

^Yep. Got mine installed today. was Super easy. Didnt even need to pull the coils haha

 

[Gentry63]

Did you go with the Powerflex or the Powerflex black? I'm about to replace struts on my car and was looking at these.

 

[rodgertherabit]

I got the regular "street" purple ones.

 

[Gentry63]

Were they worth the money? I was considering going with the race black ones because I'm planning to spend a lot of my summer autocrossing and at the drag strip.

 

[rodgertherabit]

the purple ones are totally worth the money. oem replacement mounts are $50. these are $65 and are poly and not gonna smush so easy

If you are racing then the black ones would be better. the purple are about 25% stiffer I think I saw.

I really liked my poly polo mounts, totally worth the money and mine didn't raise the front end, they lowered it a tad.

 

[rodgertherabit]

^ link to said mounts?
