Hey everybody, first-time poster here... I've been a member for a few months, but I've never posted until now. Anyway...
My girlfriend has a '97 Protege LX that I am in the process of fixing/upgrading. One of the things on my to-do list is putting on some Canuck Motorsports springs (from eBay), and some KYB GR-2 shocks.
I purchased some Monroe strut mounts as well, because I was hoping to assemble the new components first, and then just swap in the complete assembled struts for the old ones. The problem I encountered is that these new mounts do not come with the upper spring seat (hat, insulator, isolator, whatever you want to call them).
I'd rather not re-use the old spring seats if I don't have to. We just went through that on my Saturn a couple weeks ago... Remove old struts, compress old spring, disassemble strut, clean up strut mounts, assemble new strut, install new strut... Wash, rinse, repeat. It took so much longer than if we were just swapping the complete struts.
Does anyone know if these spring seats are available for purchase? If so, where/how much?
Thanks in advance,
-Cliff
