Tein Pillow Ball Upper Mount?
Hi Everyone,
I'm changing out my suspension and the rubber on my factory mounts is dried out. I was looking for new mounts and came across this Tein units that are metal and use a bearing. I don't think the adjustable part is of much use with the strut seeming to be fixed in one position to the LCA. However, the metal and bearing will probably last for a long time and might firm up the ride some. The OEM rubber mounts seem to be around $60 each and these are about $100. I wouldn't mind spending the extra for durability. Anyone ever used these or something similar?

I dont personally use them but many people run tein pillowball mounts on cars with great success.
And depending on how much stress out cars setup has at that specific point you might feel a difference other than getting rid of the sloppy worn out old mount

Since the sc uses coil over shocks and not struts there would be no adjustment for camber and our shock mounds are solid piece of steel with a thin piece of rubber to cushion the spring from the perch so it would also provide no performance gain so unless you want the look then it would be a waste of money.

Yeah, the rubber is dry and cracked. I just ordered some mount plates with fresh rubber, boots and stop cushions. This car is almost 20 years old; so I all those parts have seen better days. I'll be glad when these parts come so I can get it all mounted back up.
