Does that mount to the strut? So that piece takes the place of the spring seat and strut mount using 2.5" springs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkaplan Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Does that mount to the strut? So that piece takes the place of the spring seat and strut mount using 2.5" springs? The adjustable strut mount... mounts to the strut tower and the strut is mounted to the strut mount. With that style, you throw away the stock strut mounts and spring seats and just 2.5" coilover springs with a standard 2.5" coilover upper spring seat.

There's nothing I would love more than to throw away the factory strut mounts and spring seats. I blow those out on a monthly basis. Need someone to test them out? Kidding. I would be interested to see what those D2 camber plates run. I'm going to send that company an email to see what they cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilber33 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 How? Maybe not now. But I was blowing them out pretty quickly with the Koni DIYs and Milwaukee streets. I was also using aftermarket ones, which would last about a month, then I switched to OEM, and they lasted quite a while, but I was still going through them pretty quickly on the DIYs.

You practically need a Jeep to maneuver some of the streets here, especially to climb over the mounds of black top that they dump into potholes to "repair" them. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, the chassis mounted plate is going to be 3d surfaced billet aluminum which contours to the shape of the strut tower. A bit more expensive to manufacture then a laser cut flat plate so the price has to go up a bit. The swedes are preordering these things like crazy. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilber33 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 If I had an extra $400 to drop at the moment I would pre-order those too. But, Spring Break is coming up and I just wrapped up my wheels. I'm good for the time being. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
