does that mean that the rear would sit lower with this mount? someone please elaborate.

 

I know a few people are using those, I just don't remember their names...

 

hmmmmm...interesting...and how are they? I wonder if they make a lot of noise....

 

No, the ride height is the same. What these do is push the bump stops up an inch to give the car more spring travel. Should make the car handle better at the limit as the suspension won't be riding on the bump stops as much, and should also make the car ride better (less jarring) on hard sweeping turns or really big bumps in the road.

 

I have them for the rear... It gave me back alot of suspension travel... Made a noticable difference.

 

Did you pay $118 for those?

Spring spacers are $5, I wonder how the ride compares...

 

Chunger,

Is the ride improvement worth the $118? Is there anything avail for the fronts? That is where I really feel the impact from bumps/holes in the road.

 

They were definitely worth the money...

The mounts actually "raise" the mounting point of the top of the shock so that the piston is extended more like it was stock giving you back the travel... Spring spacers space out the spring and would raise the car and stiffen the ride because that spring spacer does not compress making the ride even worse.

For the front... Motivational modified my existing Koni inserts to sit lower in the strut assembly (essentially "lowering" the lower mounting point) giving back some travel as well. As far as I know, it can only be done to "insert" type aftermarket front strut inserts... ie Koni. It improved the ride too but not as much as the rears.

 

hmmmm, i might lookin into these rear spacers, is this website the only one that makes them??? any place got these types of things cheaper?

 

Chunger, so after these two modifcations to the suspension, how does the ride quality compare to stock?

Thanks

 

Anton, it's been so long since I've had my stock springs/struts... 4years? I don't remember... I did remember a big improvement in ride quality compared to not having the rear mounts on.
