Default Late strut mounts: WTF??!!

Why on earth are early strut mounts ~$35 and late ones ~$400?

buy monoballs for 200 and get more precise action for cheaper cost.

or you can get full on camber plates for that much too...

The later mounts are a much more solid design, you pay for it though. Like Eric said, get the KLA monoball mounts.

I have some late ones in good shape. I will be in AZ next week and may be able to drop them off at Jeremy's house. PM me if you want them.

when you buy the earlys you get just the rubber insert for the mount, and when you buy the late version you get the whole deal.

Because if you can afford a late model Porsche we like to stick it to ya!



Because they are made from unobtanium.



Because we feel sorry for people with less horsepower.



Stop me before I jest again...
