mk1 golf raised top mounts

I want to make up my own "raised top mounts" im handy with a welder so that part isnt a problem.

just wondering how people actually make these? and what sort of rubber mounts do they use.

i was planning on using the metal plate from my stock top mount, cutting it flat and welding on the tube.


anyone else make these? got any pictures?

thanks alot
Andrew

i understand what they are ment to look like. but what rubber mounts do i use with these raised top mounts. as the origional one will be modified and wont work

I was thinking of doing the same and I've found that people use mk4 mounts

anyone else build these before?

Got any more info on that?

So does this raised mount lower the car but keep standard suspension travel ? What do you do on the rear ?

Use Drop plates I believe,there's a Guy on edition atm who's offering to make some to order and has done so before in the past

No not really I seen a set on eBay and it said there use mk4 mounts I was just goin to buy some and make them work lol

Coltechs been doing them long enough and has many satisfied customers. 

And for the cost, I reckon you'll break even trying methods/rectification. 

The rear drop plates do yourself though, in my opinion its expensive for a 12mm plate drilled 8 times….

I have Coltechs raised mounts And drop plates. Best thing I've done to the car, it's very! Low and still comfortable. And the drop plates he makes also centre the rear wheels in the arch rather than lowering them and them moving forwards.

link to coltech?

Any links to the rear plates your talking about ?
