for the Gaz coilovers you will need some spacers to assemble the alloy topmount properly (unless they are my spec ones?) if you need some, let me know, have a set spare that you can have.

Ignore the comments about them being noisy/crashy. if assembled properly with the correct spacers they are fine.
