Billet Aluminum upper strut mounts?
Anyone have these with PSS9s? I am getting a clunking noise when traveling over rough roads and after inspection it looks like the factory rubber strut mounts may be the culprits. Any ideas?

For all 4 it is 4-5 hours since all the suspension needs to be removed, worked on, and replaced. So $400-$600 dollars in labor and $1100 in parts... ouch $1800 for zero HP!

I should have clarified. The $225 is for the installation of just the front set. Sorry.

From the tone of your question, I'm betting you've had problems in the past. Have you been using the additional install kit that should be used with the PSS9's?

Email me if you need the source.

No tone, I was just wondering. A few years back we built a custom setup for the camber plates to be used with the PSS9's. Unfortunately, the camber plates dont just fit without additional components when used with the PSS9's. Cheers

Yes, there is a solution. We machine a new top spring hat and bushing. This will locate the top of Bilstein spring and will allow the use of the camber plates.

And does it do anything to remedy the bump stop issues on really low cars?
