Cool strut mounts

i'm puttin on some new performance struts soon on my es
its got 80000 miles, hopefully it will hold up to it
anything i might need to do to make sure it can hold the weight?
i'm thinkin about gettin some new strut mounts to make sure that they can hold the force the struts will exert
i know nothing about strut mounts whatsoever.....
anybody know where i can pick some up/ ballpark price?
thanks

You might as well replace the upper strut mounts, it is very common that they go out on the es.

you will save money in the long run, since you will have everything taken apart when installing your struts.

but then again, it can get a little costly......

upper strut mounts
L part # 48609-33121
R part# 48603-33021


also, remember to get the upper strut mount bearings. these are very important, your old ones could be worn out or broken. these will allow a better flow of things

upper strut mount bearing part# 90903-63014
good luck
