GT500 Strut Mount Availability
I have everything I need to lower my car the way I want but not the gt500 strut mounts. I can't find a place that has them in stock. Anyone know where I can pick up a set asap?

You can also Space the old style shock shafts and use your current strut top in a pinch. My local Tractor supply has a variety of spacers in various lengths and ID's that would work.

I plan to just pull the isolator from the svt mounts for the steeda HD mounts. Wonder if the stock GT mount is an option for that.

Ford changed the mount with the 2011, and no one has made an aftermarket strut that fits it yet without changing out the mounts or going to the HD steeda mounts

Quantity in Stock:(Out of Stock)
Availability: DISCONTINUED. NO LONGER AVAILABLE. USE NEW PART NUMBER M-18183-C.
Part Number: M-18183-A
Here is the Old Number as well. I would assume the New number maybe a better part or wider application. But maybe not. Sometimes it's just a way to raise the price.
Good Luck!

The 2 Posts above you is the Ford Racing Items. If you call one of the Dealers Listed they can sell you the FRPP Parts now. They should be in your expected price Point.
It always irritated me that FRPP Sells REPACKAGED OEM Parts cheaper to the General Public than the OE Parts cost the Dealers. Real Morale Builder for the Dealer there. Also makes The Dealer look like a crook unless they are aware of the FRPP counterpart and advise the customer. Most are not.
I have done numerous posts on these types of things in the past. I also complained to FORD on Pricing issues such as these when I worked at the Dealership to no avail.
Whenever I was aware of these PRICING issues I always advised my customers where to get the best deal. It's just the right thing to do.
