I rechecked what I bought from Hypermotive:
8750-1030/ 8250-1008 - Koni STR.t orange strut and shock set
M-18183-C - GT500/ FRPP upgraded strut mounts
checking the part numbers for the orange Koni's, I found out that indeed they are intended for '05-'09 mustang. That is why the GT500 mounts work (or maybe are even required as the original wouldn't work?? ).

Also, good catch on my willingness to switch to GT500 mounts comment. Yes, I am using a 2011+ strut. Let me clarify the mounts - it was really this part...2005-2014 MUSTANG FRONT STRUT MOUNT UPGRADE (PAIR), #M-18183-C. Technically not GT500, but Ford Racing...same upgrade concept. If my stock mounts ever do fail, these are what I will install.
Hope all of this helps, good luck!

*Upgrade for 2011-2014 Mustang GT/V6 (See Note Below)
NOTE: These Upper Mounts are not a direct fit for 2011-2014 Mustang GT/V6 if using factory style struts. You must use 2005-2010 Mustang GT/V6 Style Struts, OR 2007-2014 GT500 Style Struts when using these Mounts on a 2011-2014 Mustang GT/V6.

Since everyone seems to battle the bearings falling out... Has anyone ever heard of bending a strut do to over tightening the spring compressor.. Or possibly even tightening it unevenly resulting in a bend and loss of silver *****..??
