OverKill Motorsports Front Strut Mounts
Wednesday, December 10, 2008 6:59 PM
I am just making this thread to let everyone know that Mark (fast2.4 p), myself and Larry (lnhiv) have been going over the design for the front mounts the past few days. Today we ironed out the design for the fronts to be used with gravana and b&g coilovers. Tomorrow we will get the final details for the front mounts to be used with OE sized lowering springs.

Just so you all know, Mark is 100% on the right path here and will turn out a great product as always. Larry and I just helped him fine tune a few of the details in the designs.

I have been running Mark's rear strut mounts for the Gravana coilovers now for about 2 mounts, and they are amazing. Besides the squeek from not having the bushings fully compressed (my fault) they are one of my most favorite mods to my car. The rear is so much stiffer, and it makes driving 100% more enjoyable.

If there are any questions, please feel free to post here and direct the questions to anyone you want.

I have to agree with everything that Chris has said...like he said, we've been chatting with him for a few days now going over things. Once all is said and done, these are gonna be an awesome product.

Very nice. Any chance these will be made for us people with the Rk prostreets?

if the rksport prostreets mount the same as the gravanas, then they will be usable....if the top spring cap is different, all that will need to be done is a have a different adaptor made...

Yep, if you send me a pic of what the mounts look like I can let you know. Also if you need the adapters I can make a set for a couple bucks more. Shoot me some pics.

Might want to consider a version for Ground Control coilovers since they are the most popular

so what is the verdict on the front mounts additional lowering?



Re: OverKill Motorsports Front Strut Mounts

Cant get a good enough pic of the mount BUT The rk's use the stock 95-99 upper mount. So I would think a set made for those would work.

I know that top mount would fit, I am worried about the hat on the spring and the rotational bearing. The fronts did not really low the car in the front at all.

Here is the finished product. The camber plates will be a touch different but not much.

If all you looking for is a pic of the GC top hat, the RK sport one is identical, so here's a pic of it off the RK site.



I already ordered the rears (the top of my left rear strut, disappeared into the stock mount) waiting impatiently for those.

As soon as it's confirmed that these work with the GC Koni setup, I'm all over it. (rubber is trying to squeeze out of the top of the front stock mounts).

BTW my 99 came with the 2000+ mounts stock (so I think the mounts run pre 99 two peice, and 99+ single peice)

Looking good so far.

that pic should work, but he needs a few measurements too....he need to know the shaft diamer on the struts, and i think that might be it.



Re: OverKill Motorsports Front Strut Mounts

My sleeve should fit over that. Can you move the spring up to the top of the shock where the threads start? If so then these will fit those as well

If you can get me some measurments and some good big picks and maybe even a top hat that would be awesome.

What is needed is the top surface of the rotational bearing, or anythign that sits on top of it. We (well Mark) needs to make sure that there is enough room for the rotational bearing to move, and also to allow the spherical bearing to move.

Good thing I ordered that spare bearing set. The bearing race OD is 36.2mm and the ID 22.5mm
