    strut mount question

    My 93 Protege is in desperate need of lowering. I have a set of Tokico blues and sprint lowering springs ready to go on it, but here's the rub. I don't want to cannibalize my complete stock suspension because it still rides great and I would like to swap it back for winter and trips to Michigan. What brand of upper strut mounts would you suggest and do they come with all the parts needed to complete the assembly?

    For the front, you'd still need thrust bearings, upper spring seats, rubber spring seats, boots, and nuts. Pretty much the same for the rears. I think I have a used set of most of that stuff (all oem parts). If you are interested, I'll go look for them.

      There is a local pick and pull that has 2 protégés that still have the struts on them. I 'm going to check them out later today but I will keep you in mind if that doesn't work out.
