cool where can i find the OEM solid mounts?

what is your idea on the strut mount? because if you have easystreet rear air struts, the mounts should be a 1/4" flat steel with a rubber bushing on each side. the air bag sits against the steel plate with a rubber bushing in between. to me i also can not see a way to get it to go any lower also. even if you located the top of the strut rod higher it would not change the rise and drop height of the air bag. the front mounts i think can be changed around to get them to sit lower. but not sure what because i have not tore into them. if i get a chance i will get pics to show you. the only plus to using OEM's upper strut mount is i believe that they have a pillow ball mount. for us doing this swap with the irs it could be benificial because the strut is no longer sitting exactly horizontal anymore. i think i have not put it all together yet. after i do get everything all mounted i can verify if they are recommended.

cool i was just gonna build some flat stock with pillow balls but i guess its been done lol i just haven't found them. Yeah if you could post some pics that would be great. Who sells the OEM mounts?

This is his GP for the mounts. You would have to ask him but I am pretty sure these also work with air ride also.

cool yeah i was thinking of building a set pretty much just like those cool thanks man

here is the easystreet rear upper mount.



and progress. looks like its going to work. also room to go lower.






and more pics will be in my progress thread.

outstanding job sir, i see you deleted the spare tire well as i planned to do as well. Im goint to try a way to set the spare in between the new truck floor and the suspension crossmember.

nice work ! looks like everything is coming along very well. How are u gonna be running the exhaust?

spencer- thanks, you probably could but it would only be the donut that would fit.

yeah- thanks. i have not decided yet. i thought about under the crossmember but i would lose my ground clearance for going lower. so it will probably be over it next to the frame rail. i have a lot more to go. so i have not really planned that far ahead yet.

you give up?

yeahidriveacavalier how does your n1 sound with the 20 inch resonator mine sounds great with the stock resonator but when i turn the ac on it gets alot louder and raspier


Modding my j since I found the org

it sounds really soft and low at low and high end. im pleased with the sound of mine i just dont like the look of it. i also put the silencer on it and on the inside of the car i can hardly hear it. im also running 2.5 inch pipe from the cat and looking at either buying or building headers for it.
