Soarin Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I finally got the Bilstein HD struts and Swift springs installed. I got the entire kit from Fred Beans Parts and the front upper mounts look like this. The driver's side looks like how it's supposed to, but the passenger side is sunk in. Also on the outside the driver's side is slightly lower than the passenger side. Two finger gap to the top of the tire on the driver side compared to about a three finger gap on the passenger side. Is this how it's supposed to be? I've never had a car with suspension mods like this. Even the shop is questioning it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 It looks like you have one Spec.B upper mount and one plain GT mount. The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akasa Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 ^ +1 Underdog is right. Spec.B mounts are flat, normal GT mounts are raised. You have a standard GT mount on the driver's side and a Spec.B mount on the passenger. Contact FredBeans, they're usually good about things like this. I'm surprised that this happened honestly.

Soarin Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Dang it. I inventoried the kit when I got it, but never bothered to check the upper mounts for differences. I'll contact Fred Beans, but this is kind of annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ras06LGT Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Fred Beans is a great vendor. Mistakes happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soarin Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Very true, mistakes happen. Fred Beans fully understood my situation after seeing the pictures and have sent the Spec B upper mount. I'm just waiting until Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oncesir Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I thought you couldn't use regular lgt top hats with bilsteins? As in they couldn't be installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soarin Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Turns out they can be installed, but the Spec Bs have better bearings that match up with the firmness of the Bilsteins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
