Struts Mount for Stock Height

I want to keep the stock height and have no plans of lowering the car. But I would like to get rid of the rubber bushing of the stock struts mount and replace with steel spherical ones, but the ones I am looking at ( UMI, founders..) are all one inch higher. Is there a steel spherical mount that has the stock height?

Re: Struts Mount for Stock Height

none that i know of, but any of those will work and not affect the ride height

if you want to be overly ****, you can make shims to lower the bearing housings in the mounts that hotpart and UMI make to pack it down some.

I'm using the Spohn version without issue.
