Strut mounts on 4kq

[Dupree, Jim]

I don't know about their upgrade (seems like a lot of $$) but I was just
looking up parts last night for my 4kq. My understanding is that the 80/90
stock part is an upgrade for the 4kq. I can buy these cheap! I have a friend
that will let me buy through his wholesale account. If I can be sure I have
the correct OE part number for the best OE replacement part I could look
into a group buy on the strut mounts.
Anybody know the best OE strut mount part number?

Thanks
Jim

Blau offers an "improved" strut mount with their strut
accessory kit.
It seems as if the improved mount is only needed with
the 80/90 models with the heavier v6.
Blau claims that the improved mount is more durable,
stiffer and tighter than stock. it also lowers the car
1/4".

At $120, a single improved kit (for 2 wheels) is
double the price for the O.E. mount kit. I could get
all 4 wheels of O.E. for price of 1 improved set.

Is this upgrade worth the cost on a 4kq where wieght
is not an issue at the front?

Does this upgrade actually provide a noticable
difference in handling?

TIA
