Meyle makes a mixed bag of mostly garbage, some good, some bad. In your case, you may have some more options since the TDI does not have active mounts. For the 4.0T, finding non-Audi options that are not junk or made for performance (tuned cars, etc.) is becoming very difficult. I believe @PaulW just recently did the mounts on his TDI.

I've only done the passenger side, trying to figure out how to do the driver's side easily.

A few posts down from there is a link to where I bought the *** mounts on ebay.

I got my lift installed in my garage the other day and took another look at it, I am not sure what will free up if I drop the sub frame, otherwise I have to take the AC compressor off it's mount to get the mount in and out.

lol. Sorry to hijack the thread.
I just spent 5 minutes perusing your garage.
  1. How high does the lift go?
  2. Ceiling height?
  3. Old FZR-1000?
  4. Commercial roll up door or some kind of residential door that rolls?
I'm retiring next year and looking for garage ideas.

  1. Commercial roll up door or some kind of residential door that rolls?
Commercial roll up door. My garage is part of a complex that is about 10 groups of 8 garages.

I heard 034 street density mounts are good replacements.
