is a monroe replacement strut bushing kit good?
Monday, January 29, 2007 7:44 AM
here in another month im going to get koni yellows and eibach sportlines and im needing all the rubber bushings and crush plates and upper bearing plates etc (basically everything that goes in the assembly minus the strut and spring) for the front.

i called the local autoparts store and monroe makes all the peices i need i do believe, pretty cheap to only like $140 for both sides with complete kits.

my question is:
is monroe a good company for these items or is there something better out there? i remember seeing KYB made the bearing plates i do believe.. but i cannot seem to find them anymore on anybody's website.

u guys think i'll be fine with just using the monroe stuff? is it better than stock?

im trying to get my suspension right the first time... lol well, this is acctually the 2nd time-but im wanting to get it right THIS time-so i want everything perfect.

as for the rears... im gonna be getting the Held Motorsports solid upper mounts, and i dont believe there's anything else i will need? or is there a rubber kit i'll need to buy for these to?

any ideas?

thanks!

why don't you get solid front mounts too? or does held not make solid fronts yet? also, how much are the solid rears?

as far as the fronts being solid, idk if thats even possible with the bearing plates etc... idk tho. as for the rears, i THINK they are like $80, i havnt contacted them to be absolutly sure yet, just going by what ive read.
