Hey guys,I just ordered some tokico hp's and the prokit,and was wondering what im going to do about strut mounts?I know they are shot cause it makes a clunking noise and the car has 143,000.Now I looked on the oriellys site and seen that each front mount was $38.99,and each rear mount is $52.00.Does $181 sound right for all new mounts?I already payed $570 for the springs/struts.So this would put me at $750.I was wondering if I should just go to a junk yard and get some 95-99 front mounts and if I have to just go ahead and replace the bearing and be done with the front's.Is that a good idea?Now what about the rear mounts?Could I just replace the bearing in them or is the 2000+ a one piece like the fronts,and if so are the pre 2000 rear mounts 3 piece like the fronts?Thanks.I just wanna be prepared for what im getting my self into.

Might as well replace them all.
They come apart (read BREAK) very easily when trying to remove them from the sturts. I think my buddy paid 45ish EACH for all the mounts. This will make it an easy install for you. just buy new mounts, and new bumps stops (like 6 or 7 bucks a piece IIRC), and new protector casing (cant think of proper name. the part that shrouds the strut shaft) and "build" the struts with the springs before you do anything, then you can just take out the old and install the new.
i wanna say you can find the kyb somewhere. @!#$ if i remember where
