thanks for the reply. I have a jdm hawk so assume i need the 2.5 litre variant due to the car being 114.3 instead of 100 pcd. Do these bilstein kits or KW kits need top mounts? the car came with cusco coilovers so obviously dont have any of the standard stuff on the car

If you get them from demon tell them you want the ones that measure 75mm on the fork on your strut.

As said above oe top mounts will be fine.
Alyn at a performance can give you advice.

no problem i will speak to him tomorrow at some point, oe top mounts might be the best option as it might give more reliability in the long run.

thank you
