Americanmuscle please explain this about your "gt500 strut mounts"
Been gone a while but decided I should bring this up. I own a 2010 base model gt. I had popping issues with the stock strut mounts so I go to AM to upgrade to better strut mounts and I find there gt500 strut mounts upgrades for the 05-10 gt's. I order them and receive them with no issues like always. Problem is that these supposed gt500 strut mounts come stock on my car. I called customer service and they tried to say my car must have been bought used then. I'm the original owner of my car. It has 15 miles on it when I got it. The part number, look, build and everything about these mounts are identical. The new mounts did solve the popping issue but why should I believe these are an upgrade from stock?

Yeah and I'm please with that. I'm just a little upset that they advertise them as an upgrade. I could have got stock mounts much cheaper at a local dealer through a friend.

Why are you calling them out in a thread versus contacting them via PM or on their site?
If you did and they ignored you or they tried to skirt the answer then I can see this being a viable means...
And it's not just AM, if you look for the part number M-18183-C, ALL sites including fordracingparts . c o m lists these as upgrades for the 2005+ model years. My guess is it's either a misbox or Ford changed something and didnt' bother telling anyone in the aftermarket performance industry (doubtful).
I'm sure AM will resolve it. In the meantime, if anyone has a pair of these they have recently changed if they can post up the Part number of their OLD strut mounts as well as what they received when they ordered the upgrade it will help. Have a pair of these FRPP ones at home but I'm waiting to put them in until I can get the upgraded FRPP control arms too.

Wow, we definitely need to look into this. I'm not exactly sure where the brake up in communication is, but I'm going to figure it out right away. We get these directly from Ford Racing!
I'm going to pull a couple of our 05+ project cars apart and see whats on there, along with contact Ford Racing directly. I'll get back to you shortly!
I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you. On the bright side, I'm glad to hear they fixed your issue!
