we are upgrading my sons 2010 mk3 RS Sport for trackdays and have purchased new suspension all round. However before we start tearing the front apart I have been looking at the various videos of what is involved. However all bar one of the videos I can find are for a strut that has two bolts connecting to the hub where as his car has only one. The strut appears to lift out rather than pull out the front which the two bolts type appear to do. However the only video I have seen showing the same type the chap gives up as he couldn't get enough movement to lift the strut clear of the hub mounting and ended up using a garage.
What exactly is necessary to replace this type of strut. Can you drop the hub further or is there a cunning trick to do this?
