Whoa that's big. Sorry guys! Laughing

Been hearing some crazy poping in the front end and I think I've narrowed it down to control arm bushings that are SHOT. They were the PST polygraphite ones I put in the car when I got it ~7 years ago. I'll get some pictures when I swap out the arms. Anyways, I figured since I was there and the strut mounts I have are factory I might as well replace and upgrade them.

And since I hate red, I got the black ones. Smile

I bought the spohn ones. I never knew about the brand you ordered!

Anyway, I noticed way better braking then I did anything in handeling.

Um, I think about 2 years ago? They do advertise that they have a deeper socket for the lowered cars.

How high are spohns mountint point? Those don't look anywhere near as high as the Hunter Motorsports set that I have.

The spohns are almost exact duplicate of the HMS except steel.

Dew, 91RS; how tall are your sets?

The solid bearing that the strut shaft mounts at the top of the inner silver adjustment plate. (obviously; I just want to be clear on height comparison Very Happy

)

I'll have to measure sometime next week. I want to say, mine seem taller than that, but I'll measure and post a picture.

No, I work 14 hr nights on Fri/Sat/Sun, so all I really do is sleep-drive-work-drive-sleep...etc.

The top of mine are where the top of your bearing holder is(3.00 from mount surface). So I'm going to say about the same height overall.

Wow. I finally got around to putting these in. (When I did the control arm bushings I never checked my alignment afterwards and toasted my front tires with even more messed up toe...)

Put the mounts on today, new tires and alignment tomorrow. The car drives a TON different. I don't know if it's just me or the fact the struts are running a totally different height now but it feels much more bouncy and I think I gained another halfinch of ride height. I need new struts now. Sad

before;

after;

Maybe it's just in my head.
