I already broke the strut mounts on both sides once. Whether that's from the drop or not, don't know but you could hear the "clang" with the window down when I drove over bumps.We'll see how long the new ones last. I heard that the cracked mounts doesn't affect the car's handling. Do you know if that's true.: you said you were on h&rs with stock struts. are they race or sport? i agree with josh, perfect drop
