Just wondering what strut mounts are better, GM or monroe??? I'm looking to get vogtland springs & Agx struts. I already have the gmpp suspension kit w/ moog endlinks & BMR stb's. Should i get pogo washers, anything else i'm missing

This is a great question. I've never had it answered either. I think it's because most people do it once and don't get a chance to compare.

I've run both, I can't tell the difference. Price is similar too (up here anyways). I think they run about $50 from NAPA and other suppliers for the shops. I'm sure they are equally had for $35 online.

Anyhow, I'm running GM front mounts and Monroe rears on my Bilsteins and SSC springs... seems fine?

When it comes to the strut mounts themselves, OEM is probably fine for most any application. I can get 'em for $35/piece around here.

As for actual struts, I'm not sure, I haven't done any research into it.
