STRUT MOUNTS, etc

I want to lower my car and i know i have to get new sturts to make the package complete but how important is to install strut mounts and boots or can i go without or does it depend on the condition.

Thanks!

How many miles on your car?

The question is if you can get away with not replacing your mounts. You usually can if you're <100K miles.

But you should definitely have boots/bumpstops that are in good condition.

I will not post classifieds items outside of the classifieds section. I will also chill out on the language. Else I will be gone.

^^^^^^^ is this a thread or a classified section?

With 86K miles, I would definitely get new mounts. Your dustboots/bumpstops probably need replacement too. You CAN get them cheaper through NAPA or something, but I always suggest buying them from Dave B.

To the poster right above me, you need a photobucket or similar account in order to HOST pictures, then you can link a [img] tag around the URL.

Hence the reason I mentioned to still get it from Dave B. NAPA has the parts available, however the quality or fitment may only be 90%.

PS, your grammar sucks.
