Needing strut tower gromets.

I went to get my bird alined and the guy told me that the rubber gromets where the top of the strut bolts in are worn out and i need to replace'em and i was wondering if anyone had some that weren't worn out?

I have a set of Mustang strut tower brackets with polly bushings
For sale is a set of energy suspension strut tower bushings with mounts for a mustang. The only thing you have to do is drill a new hole to mount them, this way you can use mustang struts like strange and other manufactures. I am no longer using them because I bought C.C. plates for my car, I will take $25. shipped. Also less then 2,000 miles on them

The stock Tbird strut mounts aren't serviceable, and the stock design sucks.

You can buy replacement strut mounts that look like the Mustang ones pictured, with the replaceable bushing.  I've used the Mustang ones before too.

Bigbada do they still perform as well as the stock ones, seeing as the tbirds probably a good bit heavier than a mustang?

The stock ones suck, and the ones he has, or the aftermarket TBird ones, are miles ahead of them.  They used the same "cup" style on the Mustangs through '04 (Base plates changed in '94, but the concept was the same), and those cars got every bit as heavy as the Tbirds.  Weight isn't an issue, regardless.

What chuck said I would still be using them but when I went to the Mach springs I needed to go with CC plates do to lowering the car so much with the springs.

What is necessary to make the mustang cc plates work in a tbird?  If its nothing too difficult I'd like to go that route because I really don't want to get the MM plates.
