[QUOTE="Coz, post: 15885336, member: 184704"] The GT500 mounts match to pre 2011 struts. I don't believe there is any issue with any S197 spring. If you bought the Koni's for a 2014 you can't use the GT500 mounts. By the way, there are two different Steeda HD mounts. If you get them make sure you order the right set. You can try reusing your front mounts but that would require double installation time and effort if you subsequently upgraded the mounts. You would also require an extra alignment. If you do reuse the originals, be very careful when dissembling the strut/spring assembly. Beyond the safety issue of a compressed spring, the OEM strut mounts can come apart if you are not careful. Then you have little ball bearings all over the place. CC plates will give you more adjustability but may transmit more NVH. The Steeda mounts incorporate a polyurethane bushing that isolates much of that. By the way, you must use the bottom half of the OEM strut mounts (pry them apart if they aren't already) and use them with Steeda Mounts. [/QUOTE]
