You shouldn't need to replace the rear mounts. These are not stock replacement however. They will give back some of the travel (in the rear only unfortunately) that you lose with lowering springs.

 

I just put in my tokico Illuminas and H&R springs 1 month ago (i'm the 10th person on this GD)

if you want my opinion i think you will need these if you feel your back is a bit bouncy. i live in brooklyn where most roads just about suck so suspension travel is important for me (i don't want to be hiting the bumpstops every 3 mins)

I replaced the front bearings (one was blown) and the upper front mounts too. if you check the rubber bushing in the front upper mount it can be veryl flat and worn out from the XXXK miles abuse on it. mine had small rips in the middle of the bushing, once i saw that i knew i had to replace them. but every car is different so you might not need to replace yours.

The first batch of parts arrived yesterday

I've begun shipping to those who have already ordered.

I have a few sets left for those that are interested. They are in stock right now, so I can ship them immediately.

Big thank you to everyone who participated so far.

 

yeee haw!123

 

pm sent!!!!

 

Did you get a PM from spanishrice?

 

Yup ......

 

Vadim,

Do you have RSB... if so does it change things?

I just bought Illumina's from the other group deal and would probably need these mounts as well, but don't really have the $ right now (need to get springs first).

Just got mine today!!! YAAAAAYYY!!!!

One ? though. I have KYB GR2s and Maxspeed springs, does it really matter which way the orientation of the spring/strut is? Your instructions say to mark it with a pen or something. When I installed them, I didn't even do that with the stock spring mount.

I just seated the spring in the indention at the bottom of the strut and lined up the strut with the hole on the car and put the bolt through. Was I doing this wrong?

Thanks! And extra thanks for the great GD!!! Hopefully I will be able to put them on soon and give a good review.

Marking everything before you take it apart just makes reassembly a little easier Once you get it all back together, it's difficult to rotate the upper mount if it's not lining up with the holes.

 

I'm interested. You still taking orders for these? Thanks

 

Definitely. Send me a PM or Email with your ZIP code so I can get you a shipping quote.

 

Got any pictures of these things? Kinda interested, want more info, i.e. pics.

 

I dont have any pics of the final production pieces, but they do have a nice black polyurethane finish

The pic in the first post of this thread gives the best illustration of how they work though.

 

Can you post a pic of what these mounts look like?

 

damn i knew i should have taken some pix

they are round and flat with 3 holes

 

Any word on the development of the 5th gen mounts?

 

I'd like a 5th gen mount....

 

You mean the pic that shows up as a red x?

 

I love putting red x's on my ride

 

PicRack.com died

Cardomain wont upload

Where should I re-host the pics?

 

The pic is back up:

 

Sweet looks good. Do you have a pic of the actual upper mount??

 

Ben, do you recommend cutting the bumpstops at all with these? If they restore most of the travel, then we should be able to leave the bumpstops alone, or do we still need to cut a little off?

 

I've been running cut bumpstops along with the new mounts. I got new bumpstops and cut one notch off last time I put on new shocks.

 

Ben, are you using the OEM bumpstops and if so did you have to glue anything back together?

 

Since the OEM stops are all molded in one pice, when I cut them, I ended up with two pieces.

I cut the accordian tube part off the bumpstop part (which I shortened) and zip tied it to the strut body.

 

Thanks for the information. I will do the same thing that you did with my OEM bumpstops. I received the mounts yesterday and will be installing them this weekend, can't wait .

 

i never cut mine and i cannot get the rears to bottom out. I can drive over speed tables so fast that my spare tire gets air, but no bottoming out. so i dont think its necessary, but it cant hurt. maybe i should get some passangers and try it

 

've been running cut bumpstops of one variety or another ever since I got aftermarket suspension (4 different setups, 3.5 years, 90,000 miles ago). So I don't know the difference

 

Good news! I'm heading out to measure a 5th Gen after work today. I should have prototypes ready for road testing by tomorrow afternoon

 

 

hmmm, My rear suspension squeeks when I hit a bump on my GC with AGX's. I tightened the bolt and it quit for a little bit, but now it is back..... You guys think this will fix my problem?>?

 

Just something to mention. These mounts WILL change the ride height when used with coilovers. You would need to extend the coilover almost an inch when you install these to keep your height where it was before.

 

Huh...my ride looks perfect with the illumina kit and motivational rear mounts....

 

How much is shipping to 39042?

 

You've got PM

 

I took apart a 5th Gen yesterday. There's good news and bad news.

The bad news, these type of mounts wont work on 5th Gens.

The good news, the 5th Gen OEM mount is set up to allow more travel anyway, so these mounts aren't really needed.

 

That sucks... because the 5th gens are definately lacking in rear suspension travel
