i've just ordered a set of fk highsports - i know but for 250ish its the cheapest option for my 20vt project

however i understand bravo top mounts are needed, the search function got the part number and they can be bought easily

the hard part seems to be the bravo "cup". i cant find them on ebay etc

Bravo top mounts are not needed for the FK coils Zigman, the FKs come with a nice bearing race which fits inside the standard coupe top mount, it's the KWs that require the Bravo mount.

I personally found the Bravo top mounts made it a better ride, took away some of the jarring and I guess KW did too but try them with the standard mounts first and see what you think.
The FKs aren't designed to be used with the Bravo mount so it was a bit of a bodge job although it seemed to work ok.

I used Bravo top mounts with FKs. It was a big improvement. I machined some spacers though so it wasn't a bodge
