Damn, crazy. I wonder how they were driving when that happened - interesting. If anything you would think the studs that go into the drivers mount (LHD) from the bracket would shear first.

My current and previous EGs have both been tracked multiple times with just the 3 mounts (hasport on yellow car, innovative on silver car) and ive never had an issue.

That happened to me when I launched my car at the track on stock suspension. So much wheel hop that the rubber broke in the driver's side mount and my engine hit my hood. Now I have 2 little dents.

I too would suggest just going for the 3 main mounts

the torque mounts are there for a reason and should be run regardless of stock or aftermarket mounts
they also prevent the engine from entering the passenger compartment in the event of an accident

here is what can happen when you "clean up the bay and free up weight"

There's a reason why someone started making these stickers....



Just invest in a VAGCOM cable and a cheap laptop and you'll be good to go.


I've heard about the VW electrical problems... but I've kind of always wanted one and it'd be a change from driving Honda's. Plus I heard that once you've worked with them for awhile they'll give you a good deal on one. If I do get one it'll probably be a golf and I wont do anything more to it than lower it and put some wheels on it to daily. I started there last night, going to be working 6 12's, yikes.

It should. If the trailing arms don't fit, just use a torques bit and remove the hub/brake assembly from the trailing arm and swap it over to your stock trailing arms. If you have any questions shoot me a PM. I've done a lot of reading up on rear disk conversion stuff lately....

Has anyone replaced trailing arm bushings? I know there's a tool that punches them out/presses them in, any experience with this? Mine have been making sounds for years and I'm sick of it.
