You can use the originals yes, just make sure they're up to the job before you put it back together. They're not expensive

Whats the best way to swap top mounts to coilovers? As i dont think spring compressors will fit onto the coilover springs??
RE: Top mounts - Curt - 03-09-2012
Why would you need to compress coilovers? You'll need to compress the original springs to get the top mounts off, but you just wind the coilovers all the way down and pop them on.

Never owned a set of coilies then. There is bog all pressure if you wind them right down . Stand the coillie up press the top mount down and get some one to start the nut for you wilst you have the mount pressed down enough to show a little thread

Yeah sorry buddy it was meant for hdikyle
RE: Top mounts - HDIkyle - 07-09-2012
Cheers will look they are wound fully down anyway but there's no slack in the springs but I don't have any spanners for it will have a go tonight
RE: Top mounts - HDIkyle - 09-09-2012
Def no slack in these there's rock solid. Any other advice? There's about 5mm of thread left till the rings are off the bottom?
