Im trying to gather the rest of the parts to do my suspension. I would like to get some input on what strut mounts would be better. Im going to use the Eibaich Springs with Koni Inserts. I was looking on Rockauto at the Monroe Strut & Mount Kit just not sure how well that mount will hold. Should i just buy everything seperate and just get acdelco mounts?

Anything is better than KYB mounts...

I used ACDelco ones in both my 96 and 90 when I did the job... Both were mounts for a 96 car, they obviously fit the 90 fine since the strut tower never changed but I never tested the Koni inserts on 91 and older upper mounts and IIRC the stud length of the strut is shorter on 92+ meaning the older mount probably wouldn't work with the Koni insert.

Unless you have the KONI inserts that were made to fit the car, then you need the older strut mounts (or something to take up the space)

Someone having original L-body inserts that haven't been used yet... that's blasphemy... LOL odds are he got a set of the J-body ones, or is planning on using the Mitsubishi ones.

Yeah i have read on here about the KYB not been a good mount, thats why i wanted to know if the Monroe ones were a better choice.

I guess i will go with the AcDelco. Dont want to have to take the suspension apart to replace the mounts. My car is a 93 not sure if the 96 mount would be different.

The inserts i have are for the Cavalier.

As noted any year mount will fit any year car, I was 100% successful with the 96s and the konis. I know 93-94 is a different part number but I'm not sure why. I know pre 93 is different all together tho.
