Let me ask something. So I see now Koni offers the orange strut for the '11+ models. If I go that route I don't need to use gt500 mounts??

BUT, I already have the mounts, so might as well get the older struts? any advantage to using the new model ones?

From my understanding and what I have seen is that your car will sit lower with the older style.

I think the springs sit 1/8 to a 1/4 of an inch shorter on the older models. Not much difference.

OK, thanks. Just didn't want the nose up higher than the back.

Is this consistent for BOTH the front struts and rear shocks? Just the front?

no just the front. the rear is unchanged, and rear ride height isn't affected by the shocks in any case

Ya I don't want to reuse mine especially if are popping now. I'd hate to get it all together when I do my struts / shocks and they still pop because I didn't go gt500 mounts to begin with.

You are correct, I retract my statement, the ones I have installed were coupled with the eibach struts. (black struts) Seems we have been doing more ford racing and koni shocks lately. My fault
