I replaced mine with oem mounts and the difference was astounding! The car seems quieter and more insulated from the road noise and the handling is fantastic. When driven hard the passive rear steer really helps with turn in. I also feel that having a certain amount of lateral movement in the rear suspension alows for more predictable grip when cornering on rough surfaces. This is how I like my Gti6 set up for the rough winding roads here in devon.

Passive rear steer I cannot stand. It literally takes you for a ride. I prefer my setup to be more predictable at every corner, but then we are all different. Smile

totally agree. my rear beam bushes are shot to hell in my golf and if you take a corner too quick the rear starts to step out. right arse in a fwd turbo diesel to correct! go solid mate. they are a little crashy making a clicking sound over uneven b-roads but for pure corner confidence you wont look back. I cant tell you how much of an improvement over O/E they are but its the 2nd most planted rear ive ever owned and the 1st was a clio v6 so that should tell you something. pm miles on here. he should be able to sort you out Thumbs up
