Thanks again, KC. I picked up the pair at Chicago Parts & Sound. It was a bit more than I would have liked to pay but worth it to me to not have to wait until mid-May.
FYI to anyone else looking for a set, Hilbish Motor Co in Kannapolis NC may be your last option to get a new set of the M 18183 C model before mid-May. Southwest Ford didn't have them despite what the inventory says. Hilbish quoted me $119 for the pair plus shipping and they have at least one pair in stock as of this morning. Good luck everyone!

I ordered mine from ninosport a few days ago. Called and asked if they had them in stock. He said he had a few, a few days ago. It's now in transit. Used a coupon code too. Code was Facebook5 I believe for a 5% discount. Wasn't easy to find these for a decent price. Hope this helps

I was going to order the FRPP mounts but now I am not so sure - I plan to keep my stock springs and simply switch over to the Koni STR.T dampers. So which strut mounts should I get? Just stock 2010 GT mounts? I think I am losing it, sorry...

Had some trouble finding them too but grabbed the ones from Hillbish on Thursday, so they better be in transit by now. I paid premium $ too... One dealer said Ford's parts availability dates often slip (sounds familiar) & I didn't want to wait.
Steve's shaft sleeving idea is good but I think the GT500 item has the preferred a higher durometer. Unless the sleeves are sized tight, that might cause some unwanted noises.
