Re: kyb strut mount?
I dont remember how much I paid for them. I really dont think I paid much more than 100 though.

Re: kyb strut mount?
just seems like a decent price to pay for a set. I really dont need adjustability. But I am going to buy a new front ps fender first

Re: kyb strut mount?
I currently have a set, they are great for factory replacements. no complaints. stiffened things up front a bit since my stockers had 200k+ and were torn.

Re: kyb strut mount?
Just an FYI for others who may peruse this post: After market companies, like Gabriel and Moog, claim that their strut bearing plates will fit 82-92 cars. However, the after market will only fit 82-86 if the 87-92 three-stud retainer is used (the difference, which is considerable, can be seen in the link below). Bought mine at a bone yard. Spohn also sells them now (and no, I didn't get a kickback for my discovery!).
Here's the whole post about the subject:

Re: kyb strut mount?
Wow....I had no idea. Never saw that post, but excellent info.
Just to clarify it for me ..(I'm kinda slow ) - so long as I purchase any aftermarket bearing plates that come with retainers , everything will be OK right?

Re: kyb strut mount?
OK, sorry but I'm a little confused. I too am looking at the Founders plates. I have an 86. If I am not mistaken, as long as it is a kit with the retainers included like the founders kit, it will work for all 3rd gens?

Re: kyb strut mount?
Yup thats the direction i went as well. It was 110 shipped for KYB strut mounts or moog strut mounts or 169 for founders with all the adjust-ability. Not to mention i lowered my car one inch and founders mounts as well as the other aftermarket performance mounts take that into play and raise there mount up 1 inch or so so that the shock is still within its working range.

Re: kyb strut mount?
I bought KYB strut mounts 2-3 years ago off tire rack, they were made in taiwan. Worked fine but just saying I think Ac delco is about the same price and probably made in usa. correct me if im wrong.
