New Strut Mounts for Coilovers?
I'm installing some Bilstein P14s on my 2013 FR-S with 12k miles on it. I want to do it right, so I'm considering getting new strut mounts for all 4 corners. I might even get the Group N STI mounts for the front.
Is this overkill? Should I just use the stock ones and not worry about it? I know the Group Ns is a bit much for street driving but so are coilovers, really.;) Thanks. [gratuitous Senna Matsuda pic] http://i68.tinypic.com/a4n22p.jpg |
Group N mounts for front don't cost too much. But then again i didn't feel much difference with them too (which is good, as in i was not so much in getting sharper steering feel from them being from more rigid rubber, rather to get back quieter suspension on bad roads for what camplates with pillowball didn't do well).
I'd say - stay stock, if stock ones are fine, and if something wrong with stock ones (bearing in one of mine started to bind) then as replacement consider not another stock one but group-n mounts. |
I can tell you from experience that getting solid tophats is nice but do to the nature of the metal on metal they make a fair bit of noise at low speeds
