Default 87+ strut bearing options?

looks like I would be needing a new set. on my 87 951.
but not going oem rip off. what are my options?

I saw http://www.klaindustries.net/strtmnt/strtmnt.htm

for 220 any others worth looking into?

will those fit my stock suspension and also if i upgrade m030?

only down side looks to be that they are going to give a nasty ride

I first had the KLA mounts on my 951, didnt like them.. they fit OK, but I had a problem with them popping....swapped them out to Ground Control plates..

There are several aftermarket adjustable plates available, but the KLA are the only ones in that price range unless you get a used set!

What is your intended use for the car? NFW would I run spherical uppers on a street car. I probably wouldn't run them on anything other than a dedicated track car either, but that's just me.

You can use '86 mounts, but you'll have to either drill a hole on the plate or cut off the pins on the body side so they fit. I just cut the pins off. I've been running '86 mounts on my '87 for a while. New bearings for them are only $50/ea.
