I just ordered these today since my mounts were completely destroyed and banging around like 2 swordsman fighting. There was concern about the spring rates on the v6 and 4 cylinder setup, but the guy I spoke to clarified that they are made to work with both motors. I'll update this thread as I go along with pics of my old parts....lol

I know this is going the cheap route, but money is tight and I'd rather be saving the $100-150 on this set then going with some Monroe or Gabriel kits I can get at Autozone or Pep Boys for that same price each.

yeah but those don't come complete ready to install with the mounts. I needed everything. Bad mount, strut, saggy spring etc. so for another $50 bucks I got it all plus free shipping. Not bad. We'll see how long they last over Philly roads.

Got them installed and the car feels great. Nice and quiet. The back feels tight. If something happens I'll post it up, but I'm really satisfied and will eventually order the fronts. Save yourself some cash get them from this seller. My mechanic said besides removing the plastic in the interior everything fit perfectly and there wasn't much trouble. Total cost $173 + $125 + $10 lunch tip = . $308
