Seems like some people feel they are a waste so tell me what you think. I bought some and I think they're worth the added travel in the rear being that I have a system and all.

Yeah I think they are worth it, especially if you lower your car a good amount.

I installed my new rear mounts when I had Eibachs and the difference was night and day. If you have the time and energy, dont install them at first. Drive around lowered with stock mounts and put the new mounts in after a month or so.

Then you will realize they are more than worth it.

Exactly, it's night and day.
