Whats up guys brand new to the forum and im lowering my x type with h&r springs and I have bilstein sport struts all the way around. I still need to get front strut mounts and bearings. Whats the best cheapest website to buy them?

 

Also what other parts do I need like other boots and spacers and stuff like that? Can I reuse the smaller parts that are on the current front struts now?

 

Hey there Buddha, welcome! You should go to the "New Members" area and introduce yourself.

I did the same project on my X recently. The X has struts in the front and shocks in the rear; doesn't have struts all the way around. My struts (Monroe OESpectrums) came with a metal spacer that was basically a thick washer, possibly made of brass. I had a mobile mechanic put them in, and he screwed up and put a spacer in one side, but not in the other. Long story short, the side with the spacer made a clunking sound at low speeds and over dips. I knew which side it was bc the threaded strut shaft did not stick up as far on the passenger strut tower under the hood.

Anyway, I pulled it all apart, removed that spacer, and voila! No clunking, car has a sweet ride now. Do a search, you'll find several threads on the subject.

Enjoy your new wheels!
