Can I use this strut mount or will I regret it? 1997 Z28 I need to replace the front strut mounts in my 1997 Z. I know how pricey they can get so I went on a search for something cheaper considering I am spending $650 on springs and shocks, and I came across these.

Will these work? Or are they some cheap knock off that will end up breaking or something? I will spend the extra money on moog or KYB IF i need to. Opinions please

I would really recommend using the Moog strut mounts over anything else. They seem to hold up better and work better than some of the other cheaper options. The Moog strut mounts can be purchased through www.rockauto.com and they are actually very affordable.

They might work..... but - Not!
Not a chance I'd put those on my car. I just swapped mine out with Moogs. Just not worth going back in there in a few months over 50.00 more. Not to mention the 4 hours of labor.... again.

Oh yeah... also. There are little wedge pieces that not all mounts come with, but are required. Make sure you get those, or get mounts that have those.

The Moog ones are under 50 each on rockauto, a little over 50 each on amazon. Ordered them yesterday to go with my new vikings. Wouldn't risk it, firm believer in you get what you pay for.
