Why do you think I will have issues with these mounts? Why are the TT so different? Can you please clarify as this is all new to me.

Also where can I get the TT mounts? Do you have a link?

Thanks

^^^ listen to this man! Car continues to drive amazingly after swapping to TT strut mounts. Nevermind the noises, the ride quality is so much more OEM like which is a huge plus for me being 90% daily driver mode.

Snorbrdan can go into more details I"m sure. Slightly firmer but still OEM performance part is my generic layman's explanation :)

Nailed it

Essentially...stronger mounts to go with your (now) stiffer suspension

Anyone know anything about this kit? Seems way cheaper and isn't bilstein supposed to be high quality product/ oem replacement?

Yup...that's the correct "kit" :thumbsup:
I thought it was linked earlier in this thread or another one, sorry

You want those mounts, the bearings, and the strut mount bolts
(if you have Koni dampers already, you DON'T need the 2x strut nuts in that "kit"--uncheck the box for them)

Or if you already have the bearings & mount bolts....you can get the mounts themselves for a few bucks cheaper from here w/free shipping:

$74/each for the OEM Audi branded ones yeah. I got the aftermarket replacement ones for $54/set. Zero issues with them.

Yep, those are the ones I went with. FCPeuro.com buying experience went well with quick shipping to me in CA. They also apparently offer lifetime replacement on anything you buy from them. https://www.fcpeuro.com/page/lifetime-guarantee

Ordered the mount kit today, also have the Koni STR.T's on the way.
