Powerflex PFF85-430 vs 1J0 412 331C (Top mounts)

[mattyboy199]

Recently had powerflex top mounts installed and the car sits noticeably higher, I accept they probably need to bed in but will I see 5-10mm drop.

I don't understand what has gone wrong here.


Thanks

Doubtful, Powerflex does make a lower-depth version

Yeah I'm aware of that but I have 30mm lowering springs fitted, I didn't want to go any lower.

Definitely fitted the right way up?

I couldn't tell you, my mechanic fitted them.

You may get about 5mm of settlement in 500 to a 1000 miles

Just appears high to me, if anyone has dimensions of the powerflex bush I would be interested what they are ? The OEM ones I removed are 48mm in height and appreciate they will have compressed.

Looks fine, to be honest I have a brand new set of OEM ones in the garage I can take measurements if you need them

I would be interested to know and also what the powerflex ones are if anyone has a set.

The arch looks more on the front, the rear nearside also just had a spring replaced.

@mattyboy199 sorry for the delay just seen your message kind regards Mark https://www.powerflexsuspensionbush...pff85-430-for-audi-s3-mk1-8l-4wd-110981-p.asp I would suggest contacting powerflex directly for the dimensions of the purple mounts.

So, the same as OEM, get some bumpy miles on them and see how they look then!
