Bugeye BCs making funny noises
As above
Had them on the car for about 2500 miles
The rears are squeeking like buggery and rattling..
I sprayed WD40 on the top mounts and it stopped.......
Also it doesnt do it in the rain lol
Would this suggest my strut top mounts are ****ed they are just the standard ones..
I have checked my bootlid,spoiler ect for any other sign or rattling but its only coming from the rear suspension.
Any help would be great as its making me want to burn the car.....

If you go to the BC website you'll get pics of them. The fronts have alloy top mount plates. The rears have larger rubber type mounts. You should be able to see if you can **** your head into the wheel arch as to what you have at the rear.
My understanding is that the Gen 1 sets had front and rear alloy mounts resulting in noise etc. The Gen 2 sets have rubber mounts on the rear pair so it makes a difference. Don't quote me on it though

If you have the Gen 1 topmounts you may be able to swap them for Gen 2 - don't know if they're interchangeable but you could ask Bren @ Apex.
