I've got them on one car - don't have much to say about them - they work, there's not much difference in feel from stock tops in good condition. The way they are designed there is possibility for a slight clicking noise on bumps, but it's never audible.

Sam do you have any pictures? the bearings on my (late model) car have some play and I am thinking about replacing them when my ledas arrive.

UK if you click on the link in my original post, then select produsts, you'll see it.

Sam thanks for the info.I just wanted to see who had actually used them. I don't really need camber plates, and my other alternative was to replace the rubber in the stock mount. That's why I asked.

I just installed these on my car but don't have struts on to test them out yet.

PM me w/ an e-mail address and I can send some pics.

Man, it seems that you either buy a rebuild kit for the stock strut mounts, the KLA item with monoball, or you have to stepup to caster plates. The problem with that is that the Paragon product reduces shock travel by an inch...not great for299.00. To get a set of camber plates that don't you have to go all the way to the 500.00 racer's Edge Camber plates, or get this, 750.00, for the Kokelns. I may have no choice but to stay stock or use the KLA's. I'm not really looking to race etc. I just want a durable part for this app. Hmmm.
