Strut Top Mount Question
Ok so i just ordered all new KYB GR-2 struts and i was wondering if i should replace the top hats since now would seem to be the best time
what i wanted to know is are the KYB tops as stiff as the STI group N tops or should i just go for the STi's. Also are they a big difference from the stock tops??? thanks

Re: Strut Top Mount Question
I Guess all just go with the STI top hats because from what I have read there a lot stiffer than any other ones out there! Does anyone know what the part number is from the dealer or how much they go for??? I would really appreciate it thanks

Re: Strut Top Mount Question
Awesome Rallispec is cheaper than boxer4racing! thanks and also i was reading your website and you said that the STI tops only make a difference when your using after market spring and since im using the stock spring would it be worth the money or no???
thanks for the help its much appreciated

Re: Strut Top Mount Question
I'd say it really depends on what your plans are later down the road and the price difference between the sti top mounts and the stock ones. If there's not much of a price difference, I'd probably go with the STi ones, especially if you plan to put stiffer springs on later.

Re: Strut Top Mount Question
Awesome all go with the STi tops there not much more money than stock
also do you know where to get ahold of white line control springs??? I can’t seem to find many web sites that have them for a good price let alone front and rear ones
Thanks for all the info it’s greatly appreciated

Re: Strut Top Mount Question
I got my WL's from Teague's/boxer4racing. Had to wait a while for them from Australia. Not sure if Whiteline still has the delivery/supply issues they had before, but Dale worked with me to get the springs. I'd suggest giving them a call.

Re: Strut Top Mount Question
Alright I wasn't sure if they could get ahold of them since they don't list um on the website but if you got them from there then they obviously do
Do you remember the total cost by chance?? thanks

Re: Strut Top Mount Question
That website says that they only carry front springs
can they order the rear ones???? or did you use WRX springs??

Re: Strut Top Mount Question
I did convert my 91SS to use 92+ springs. I used 70198 fronts and 70369 rears.
Re: Strut Top Mount Question
I'm sure boxer4racing and pdm can order the rears. You just need to call and talk with a person about it.
I think the cost was around $200 or so. It's been a long time so I don't remember the costs.
