    Why didn't you guys replace the strut mounts? Other than that, you guys did a good tutorial.

    Any recommendations on a good quality strut assembly? Also thoughts on doing a strut spacer to give more ground clearance?

      Don’t put space will mess up alignment and make the car uneven. Well struts I would use kyb or Monroe

      @@RBTheMechanic thanks for the feedback. I'm going to gain confidence in that theory by having autozone bring out front and rear struts for 2001 and 2002. And compare them. I found a set of 24 way adjustable for $269 but its only listed for up to 2001.
