I've been lowered on Tien S-tech springs for a while now and my stock struts finally crapped out on me.
SO I'm in the market for new struts and strut mounts. I was doing some searching on what struts everyone was running and Im pretty sure Ill be getting the KYB GR-2 struts, but what about the mounts. I found a couple comments in threads saying that the KYB strut moutns were different from the OEM mounts, and actually made the car sit a little bit higher with the KYB mounts compared to the OEM. Can anyone confirm this? Should I order OEM mounts, or should KYB moutns be sufficient with Tien S-techs and KYB GR-2s? -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |

the only thing I can tell you is it can clunk of the center bolt is loose. If I were you, Id check the strut first and see if they are even there, cus its not going to cost you. Mine wasn't there at all both sides.
