Hi All.
So I've heard that the B5 Top Mounts will lower the ride height of a B6 by approx 15mm but my question is thus -
Is it the rubber top mount or the Aluminium 3-bolted top-mount/perch that does this lowering?
My situation is, that I have an aluminium top mount/perch which has some poor threads, due to a ham-fisted garage going F.T. on the bolts. As we all know, Aluminium threads dont tend to last long with gorillas at them! So I need to change them. I've also been contemplating dropping the front-end by 10-15mm, to get a more equal arch-gap, Front vs. Rear.
My thought-process is "Will new B5 Aluminium Mount/Perches do this lowering, or will I need B6 aluminium perches and rubber B5 mounts?" (to fix the poor thread situation and also do the lowering)
Many thanks for anyone that can help.
