I am on air right now, would you advise to completely remove the front wheel arch plastic liner? When I air out the front wheels hit the liner at the top and pull the liner inwards from the left and right of the wheel. Thanks for any advise you can offer.

Hello. No although it is common to kit a chunk away. We would normally cut away the section between 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock. I hope this helps.

What about the drop links? Can I use the oem drop links for my t5 with extreme hub mod and t6 top mounts/ machined top mounts or does it need to be shortened or adjustable?
@THQAutomotive Жыл бұрын
OEM top mounts are correct. You only need longer drop links if you are air suspension low with extra cutting work. Even air and no extra mods would use original length drop links. (Unless its a T6.1, then you need longer T6.1 links)

Hi. I'm of the same thinking as Static. If you aren't resting on the "castle-ations" (great word) of the rubber top mount why do you need the T6 top mount? You are resting the plate on the internal of the top mount. So surely a machined T5 plate would do the same?? Or am I missing something.
