Default strut mounts?

well, after months of tryin to decide what suspension set up i wanted, i finally decided to go with the Tokico HP suspension set. i had such a hard time tryin to choose between those and getting either eibach prokit springs or tien s-tech springs and getting the kyb agx shocks...but ya i figure ill prolly be to lazy to adjust the kyb shocks anyways and i really dont feel like spending $500 on the whole set up, insted i found the Tokico set up for $375 brand new shipped(www.xshocks.com).

My question is, since my car is old, should i replace the shock mounts? i dont think they have ever been replaced but they look ok. if so, where can i get them and about how much are they?

thanks!!

unless they are rusted really bad or look like there in ruff condition, you could replace them...but ither then that i wouldent bother

if your going to replace them go to any autoparts store, i no here we have a place called allpro..they carry OEM stuff, not sure on the price tho..i bet it will be big dollers tho

alright thanks...going a little off topic but how are megan racing lca's? ebay has them for about $100 shipped, are they even worth it? do they improve handling even after new struts/shocks? i read that they help tire wear by reducing camber but the suspension im getting will only lower me about 1.5" so is that even a concern?

thanks!

Do replace the upper strut mounts. They are not that expensive and it's not worth putting new struts with old strut mounts.
