The OS top mount is starting to develop a knock so will need changing soon, I put in a call to my motor factors and can get a good price on some KYB top mounts and springs.
Does anyone have experience of the brand?
A quick google seems to suggest they are OE quality or better but its always nice to get the info from a trusted source before you buy.

Shocks will probably be changed as well but that really depends on funds

Yes bud :cheesy: ,
Nowt wrong with KYB stuff it's as good as O.E, not sure if it will last as long but I've got four of there replacement shockers on my car
& they feel better than the O.E one's but then mine had done 85k so were well past their best in the damping stakes :wink:

Cheers DDD,

I think I might see if I can stretch to the shocks as well and get them to put them together for me prior to delivery, easy enough to swap the complete legs over on the drive then.
