Replacing Damaged Evo IX MR Bilsteins
Well i guess after 100k miles my drivers strut is damaged. The spring perch is rubbing on the tire, hard to tell exactly why, but the setup is pretty old and has rusted a bit so i think part of the perch collapsed.
I loved my setup so much that i think i want to replace it in kind (MR Bilsteins w/ Swift springs). In trying to price out my options (coilovers vs. bilsteins), it looks like a wash if i compare to BC racing coilovers.
First question, is there any downside to re-using the swift springs? I've run this setup for probably 60k miles. The strut is what has the issue, but the springs look fine.
Second question is what other components do i need to perform the refresh? OEM strut top mounts? I can find the front top mounts anywhere, but the rear tops were confusing after seeing pictures of the options on RockAuto.
Any help is appreciated!
