    upper front strut mount recomendations

    im replacing my upper strut mounts and before i place an order was wondering if i could have some recommendations before i purchase - im keeping stock ride height - (might even prefer it up just a lil bit) - i dont *think* i would benefit from an adjustable camber set up ? thanks

      Stock. An original OEM part will have compressed a bit (1/4 or maybe even 1/2 an inch over time) - remember, you can always add spring pads to adjust up as well.

          To go a step further, what brands are decent for stock mounts? I got a cheap set of parts store brand mounts and after less than a year, they are collapsed and dead.
