Getting ready to put Tein springs and KYB struts on soon. I need new rear strut mounts before I can get started. Are these the right part #'s from KYB? I do not want to order the wrong parts.
Rear Right - SM5087 Rear Left - M5087 BTW It is a 1995 ST |

DO NOT order those kyb mounts.
they are ABSOLUTE junk. ask anyone who rode in my car while i had them. (batman722, lagos, and others) i know theyre cheap compared to the toyota parts (the toyota ones are about 110 a side vs about 40 or so for the kybs) but TRUST me, you'll regret buying the kyb ones if you do. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

Thanks for the heads up...
The car is a real sad looking POS. I will take some before and after pictures. It is hideous right now. I got the car for free. It is red with a terrible silver ribbon stripe job down the sides. It had painted red steel wheels and chrome hub caps! The hubs are gone and the wheels are black now. But it still looks hooptie. |

How is the ride compared to OEM? I never knew that strut mounts can have an effect on ride quality.  I have KYB struts in my car and was thinking of getting the mounts as well. |

I have KYB struts in my car and was thinking of getting the mounts as well. the mounts started making AWEFUL clunking noises about 2 weeks after i had them installed. when i removed them, the rubber that the mount is made of had just worn away, allowing metal to metal contact, causing the banging sound. it sounded like my rear suspension was about to fall out. i will NEVER EVER use kyb mounts in my car again. i have kyb shocks, theyre fine, but the mounts are a no go IMO. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
