Sup guys I'm on kyb agx and pro-kit, my strut mounts are starting to make noises, so I'm changing them all-around.
What should I keep in mind while shopping for strut mounts ? Can anyone recommend me something ?

How long ago did you change your stock setup to KYB AGX & Pro-kits ?
because im curious on what type of noise are you referring ?
If you wondering because, I too had some noise infact sounded like rattle or bumping/knocking sound it turns out it was my TOP KYB Strut nut check this
Linky just offering my thoughts....

all strut mounts are pretty much the same. if they wear out pick a brand and go with em. not really anything gonna be different from brand to brand....
unless you get mcmoneys camber plates, then its a jif or skippy choice.
but I heard about the 95-98 style and the 99-2005 style being different. What should I ask the shop guy to be sure to get the 95-98. They adapt better to dropped cars am I right ?

oh yeah the noises I'm having are a squeaking noise in the front left corner. There is also some pretty bad SCHLLAKK's in the rear left when I go over certain types of bumps. That's why I figured it would be best to go with all new strut mounts, before they all go bad. I want strut mounts that hopefully will reduce these noises and last longer. My setup has been on for about 2 mounts, which makes me think the switch was really hard on my 99-2005 mounts.

I installed the big spacer that came with them on each of the front struts. I don't think I have problems with the struts (well aside maybe from that SCHLAKK sound, but I'm getting it checked when I'll switch strut mounts)

Have you checked out your ball joint and wheel bearing? Those will make strange noises too.
Also, your "schlakk" from the left rear could be your exahust hitting the rear axle. Check the clearence on that while the vehicle is on the ground.

My exhaust is still stock, why would it hit the rear axle (sorry I don't even know what the rear axle is) ? About the wheel bearings and ball joints, I'll have them checked while the strut mounts are installed, thanks.

the main differences between the 2000+ and 95-99 mounts are that the 2000+ are 2 piece mounts and more metal
if a bearing goes bad you replace the majority of the mount...
on the 95 mounts, if the bearing goes bad you replace ONLY the bearing. the main difference is less vs more parts really. and the ability to replace a certain part that fails over replacing nearly the entire thing.
also more aftermarket suspension setups use the older mounts.
