I keep seeing people say that you need to get new HD upper strut mounts, other say you don't need them, other say get the GT500 mounts, other say they're crap and not different than the regular GT. Can someone straighten me out? Sam?

I plan to get some Steeda Sports, Koni Yellow, and adj Panhard bar. Already have non-adj LCAs. Sam, I see on your site you have the Steeda HD mounts with caster/camber (I think, site appears to be down). Are these needed? That's quite a chunk of change! But I want to do this the 'right' way. Is there anything else I'm missing?

I don't plan to track the car really. Maybe a trip to the 1/4 strip a few times a year, and do an auto-x event for fun they have each year, and of course have some fun on the curvy rural roads around here.

GT500 mounts are the same design as what you have... just the rubber is stiffer. And the rubber isn't what fails. So that's a waste of money.

HD's are built differently, and give you camber adjustment too.

Thanks dude. It's certainly not a race car, but it's enjoyable to drive.
