    Anything worth changing when fitting coilovers?

    I'm looking to have some coilovers fitted (as soon as i've decided which ones) and i was wondering whether there are any component i should be looking to change while I've got the suspension off? Possible some new top mounts? Thanks in advance Jim

  11. What bolts to replace when changing suspension?

    It'll be for a Mark 2 Toledo, but I'd appreciate any Leon owners views as well. I'm getting closer and closer to getting the suspension changed, but the manual suggests is that most if not all the bolts need to be replaced. Obviously these bolts don't come with the suspension kit, so I was...
