Top mount advise!

[HG182]

So as the title suggests I am looking for some advice about top mounts. I’ve recently picked up some brand new Ktec Clio 182 coilovers. I had a thought that the old bearings and top mounts would probably benefit from being replaced and thought this is the best time to do it.

Below is a link to some OE items I found. Im thinking OE as although I want to do some track days it wouldn’t be happening very often so a solid mount may be to harsh over all. Will these be ok or would I require the spacer they mention in the description. The bottom link is the mentioned spacer?!

This is the best place to ask for help/advice as I know you guys really know your stuff!

Cheers

Go for the Febi ones, cheaper and don't require a spacer nut.

As leeds2592 says save yourself some cash and potentially a lot of grief & go for the Febi in the original configuration.

So just 2 of those in the link. Doesn’t seem to be an option for original configuration or am I being dim?

Thanks for the quick response

Your being dim!

Your being dim!

Hahaha thought I was. Thinking about it I guess you mean original configuration as in how it comes off the car!

As it left the factory!

As it left the factory!

As in don’t fit the coilovers at all?!

Ignore me! Operating on not much sleep. Understood now.
