Anybody run into a problem with the kyb front and rear strut mounts and there tein ss coilover setup. I just priced check at the dealership and the front strut mounts are like $160 each and the rear strut mounts are like $104 each, compared to kyb strut mounts that are $60 a piece i think. I know they say the kyb are supposed to be an oem standard equipment item, right now im looking at paying $500 bucks from the dealership or pay $240 and go with the kyb's, i definately want to go with the kyb's but i dont want to run into a problem with the install. Any info is helpful.

Tein coilovers are not complete unless you've paid for the option of the top pillowball mounts which are a few hundred bucks or so. With that said, you have to use all of your top suspension parts. BTW you can get KYB strut mounts cheaper on Summitracing.com for about 100 bucks for both or Toyota OEM ones from toyotaworld for about 160 for both or even less than that.

Hmm, do you have any idea where you can buy the Tein Pillowball mounts alone for the 6th gen?
