I'm looking at this product on spohn.net and am wondering if anyone knows who the manufacturer is and if they have any experience/insight/pictures with/of it. Thanks

 

I beleive Steve is selling Moog pieces which are high quality.This product you are looking into is a new strut mount for each side...the big black mount under the hood.Factory replacements

 

must be quality pieces for that price....

 

anyone have pictures? or does it look just like the stock?

 

Not to be an ***, but I bought a set of custom aluminum HMS mounts for $300...

So did I

 

I don't get what you guys are saying. Are the ones on Spohn.net cheap or did you guys get ripped off?

I guess I'll have to e-mail Spohn and get some answers.

 

????

WTF??

 

were do you get the aluminum ones?

 

The ones on Spohn are only $164

 

Guess I should have included this.

I'm sure myself and the others that got in on the Hunter Motorsports pieces don't feel we got "ripped off"...there's only about 25 or so sets of those in the world...Search for the HMS strut mount thread to get the whole story.

Back to topic...check Tirerack.com for the strut bushing/bearings in the shock/strut section, which are KYB replacement pieces.

Ugh... OK let me start over.

I initially wanted to know who manufacturers the strut mounts in the package offered by Spohn. Does Spohn make them? Somebody else? I also wanted any pictures of the kit, installed or not, doesn't matter.

I asked if you guys got ripped off because the kit offered on Spohn's site is $164, and you said you paid $300 for a kit by HMS. I don't know who HMS is, which is why I asked if either (1) Spohn's set is cheap in comparison, or (2) you guys got ripped off.

 

Neither, spohns kit has stock type replacements with disk bushings that the upper strut sits in, we got spherical bearing equipped aluminum strut mounts, you will have to pay $164 each time you change struts, we just go buy a new set of bearings.

 

The strut mounts we have on the site are Moog OEM style replacements. Same price Summit sells them for.

Well I dont know anything about the Moog one, but I'm really happy with the HMS piece. I have not installed it yet, but I will be very soon (onto my 91). One of the good things about the HMS one (besides what z28racer pointed out) is that they are designed for lowered cars. When you order them you tell him what version you want (3 different heights) depending on your drop. The mounts allow the struts to sit higher than normal at the top. This keeps the struts from being squished, and allows them a full range of motion. Alot better than having squished struts on a dropped car only working on 3/4's of their avaliable play.

 

explain

 

CrazyHawaiian: when did you get the Z28? Also about these strut mounts, I don't know much about them, do they come with the bearings? Thanks

 

yes, they cam fully assambled with the bearing pressed in.

 

I got the 91 on Monday. Super Duper Happy!!!

 

The strut mounts are "supposed" to be replaced each time you change struts, the HMS uses a pressed in spherical bearing that can be replaced when its worn out.
