Question about lowering spring install.......

Do I need to buy new upper strut mounts? Ford says they aren't rebuildable, and I need new ones if I take the strut out? Also, chances I need camber bolts with Steeda Sport springs (1" drop in front)? Thanks.

I just had Steeda sport springs installed on mine Tuesday and I did not get any parts but the springs and had an alignment done. No new anything and the car drives awesome so far. I really trust the shop that did it so I know he would have told me if I needed new strut mounts or camber bolts.

do your upper strut mount make any noises going over bumps at slow speed?

Nope. But I did notice there are new mounts for a TSB. Wondering if I should put the new ones in, or I can just reuse mine that are fine when I install the Steedas.

There's no need to replace them I lowered mine with FRPP springs and I did'nt have any problems it only took about 55 minutes to do it!!! I had it aligned and the alignment shop told me that it did'nt throw it out but just a little. FRPP says no need to align, but I had it done just incase.
