True, I'd like a set of nice coil-overs too. Maybe uncle Money Bags (AKA Box) will spot me $1500 until ...the second Tuesday of next week.
Generally the mounts wear out as well, they have rubber in them and the fronts also have an active bearing that effects the steering. On the rears the sway bar end links connect directly to the strut as well so you'd plan on replacing them when you do the rear. But the mounts can be slightly tweaked and effect your alignment too. -------------------- Bust a Deal; Face the Wheel.
