Location: Merseyside		Interested in doing this myself..
Also if anyone's running rear turrets; how much of a difference can you expect to feel with shocks on the back?
I have Ralph's Gti mounts up front with shocks and mgf hydro's which i am more than happy with but the back end is a different kettle of fish.. got Gti cans and Gti RARB with correct pressures all individualised/ rods cut but can't help feeling the back end need something to keep it in check with its bounciness.
So opinion's eagerly anticipated haha sorry to thread hijack pal!

Location: Birmingham		You really have two options:

1) keep hydrolastic suspension and use turrets for dampers
This involves either mini or metro dampers that attach to turret at top and either metro cup brackets on arm or drilling and tapping stub axle for attachment. As the straps are missing you will also have to solid mount the subframe to the body

2) use coilovers that are made up by avo and attach them to stub as above, these will have to be made specially depending on turret height - this completely removes hydro suspension
