anyone who has installed this combo, do i need to buy new strut mounts? i dont mind spending the $$, but if I dont need to i wont. This setup is going on a 92 SE-R, with 78K on it.

thanks

i have recently done the install on my 92 and it is o.k. to reuse your Front o.e mounts, if you can afford adjustable camber plates now would be a good time to purchase them.

for the rears it is a must if you do not want any squeeking noises to purchase the ShigSpeed rear PillowBall mounts because if you use your original equipement mounts whats going to happen is that the thick rubber type spacer that Ground Control provides you for the rears will be rubbing against the o.e mounts and so will the strut piston everytime your piston compresses and will make that squeeking noise. another plus is that you will gain 1.5 inchesof travel.

Or you can spend $4 at Lowes and just get some plastic washers, or 20 at PepBoys and get an addco swaybar bushing. Lub them both with bearing grease. No sqeeke. Promise.

P.S. Peanuthead I have some extra bushings if you want to try it.

Mine did squeek. Like crazy. Drove me nuts! Some grease on the top and bottom of the GC supplied spacer made them completely quiet.

So, do I need to buy the new strut mounts, or are the ones that are on the car OK to use? There are lots of guys running the AGX/GC combo, someone help!

they are o.k. to use, just follow the instructions that come with the Ground Control Kit.
