Yes they were reused as my (base model) OE strut mounts were just 500 miles “young” when I installed the Roush kit. The OE strut mounts tend to separate when they are removed, but that’s not always the case.

Interested in the ride quality aspect of the Roush suspension
I've been eyeing the Roush Track Suspension Kit. My 13 GT is a track pack car, with the only upgrade being 19 X 9.5" RTR wheels with Sumitomo 275/45-19 HTR ZIII tires. I.m pretty happy with the cars performance on track days at Elkhart Lake and Charlotte, but the daily drive aspect suffers on rough Wisconsin roads. My wife will not take long trips in the car as a result. Roush touts improved performance without sacrifice in ride quality. Top Gear reviewed a 427R and performance was better than a GT500 of the same year. So my question is: For those of you with the Roush Suspension, do you find the ride quality to be stiff and jarring? Would you consider a cross country trip in the car?
I'm not looking for a Lincoln ride, but just something that does not feel like a go cart, however I don't want to go backwards either in performance.
I have considered just replacing shocks and struts with Koni adjustables, but I'm concerned about things not working in harmony so a sorted out package really appeals to me.

I dont have the roush, but i can tell you a lot of people with Koni yellows complain they are too stiff even in the softest setting.
I have taken long trips, and choosing the smoother lane and avoiding potholes is a must.
I love the way the car handles, and ability to dial it in. I've pulled 1.27g in corners with my setup, and shaved seconds off my previous lap times.
I think the roush setup would be similar tho a bit softer.
I have Steeda springs, their HD mounts, adjustable PH bar and front sway. Track awesomeness and slightly stiff on the street but im willing to pay that price for blowing porshes out at the track.

The Roush suspension is stiffer than stock 
. You definitely feel bumps and uneven road patch work. You will have to take speed bumps at a slower pace. But over all Yes I would take it on a cross country road trip and have. Made a 900-1000 round trip the first year I had it. Was a fun drive! Also have made a few shorter 250 mile round trips. I am older and have had back issues, but it does not bother me. Handles very nice, little to no sway and takes the curves very well. I have driven stock and Roush, but can't speak to any of the other setups out there. Overall I highly recommend the Roush suspension that is part of my Stage 2 build.
