    Strut mount options

    I'm replacing every part of my front suspension as it has all turned to rust. I have everything I need except I can't source strut mounts and I have looked everywhere. I'm now emailing ground control to see if their camber plates can work with the ix without going with their coilover springs, but I sont have faith.

    I'm running koni yellows and h&r sport springs. Anyone know where I can get decent OEM or the OEM offset version or of any aftermarket/camber plates solution? Mine are too rusty to even put back together. If I can't find anything I might have a friend laser scan and get a cad model to see what send cut send could make. Thanks for any help!

      The strut mounts for the 325ix are unique and have their own part number. 31331701167. You can't get them anywhere. The only option as of now is going to coilovers which I'm not interested in yet. There's no aftermarket options. Although I don't totally understand what the difference is between ix and rwd. They definitely look quite different.

          The ground control ones are tempting. First I have a friend with a laser scanner. We're going to scan the disassembled strut mount to get a CAD file to hopefully send it to send cut send, they'll cnc parts at a reasonable price in a short timeframe. The part is pretty damn simple, I have a good feeling about it, well see.
