Apparently they are a twat to do on Golfs/Boras - mine had already been done when I bought the car thankfully!!

About 3 hours with powerflex ones. Pain to get the old ones out

As has been already mentioned it's not an easy job unfortunately. I was lucky that mine had been done

job for proffesional or someone good with a spanner?

I has the powerflex ones fitted to the back of my old 1.8T golf. Mechanic said they were a fooker but only charged me Ł120 to do them! I think you need to drop the rear axle to do them? (dont quote me on that!!)

You "can" do it by dropping the front of the rear beam down. But its easier with it out completely. VW dealers will have a special air powered ram tool, that makes it much much easier

Replace with Powerflex ones for 2 reasons 1) Longer lasting 2) A damn site easier to fit

Exactly what i have brought lol
