For the 3rd time, changed my strut mounts as the KYB strut mounts are made from balsam wood. KYB declined to honor my warranty, or at least rockauto.com declined. Any ways, I changed them to the Master Pro Strut mounts and wow what a difference. The bearings actually look durable with a cushion to help prevent breaking like the KYB ones did. Very happy and recommend. Only have about a week on them so will update down the road as well.
Master Pro part # FM1334
Make sure you follow the torque specs on tightening the bolts as they are as follows:
Strut shaft bolt 55 ft/lbs
Strut bolts to chassis 35 ft/lbs
Strut knuckle bolts to control arm 110 ft/lbs
Hope this helps to augment out terrible suspensions.

popa, yes, it's always a good idea to replace the mounts when upgrading the suspension. I didn't do that, but I guess I got lucky and had some good OEM mounts, seeing as how only one has failed so far, after 6 years.

Yeah, consider YOURself very lucky lol
I went thru 2 oem mounts in a period of 2 yrs. I don't think it's coincidence. oem mounts in my opinion are doo doo
my car has never had the struts or mounts done in the life of the car they dearly need to be done, being laid off sucks! when i replace them its guna feel like a different car
