moog sells a mount seperate and i wouldnt go with a parts store strut like a monroe anyway. save up and get some good shit in the front. a QA1 will be a Nice addition to the car. and then get rear shocks later to make it a fully adjustable Nice handling car! the shocks will make up KINDA for the springs you have.

Not for a daily driven car with the way the roads are up North. I run them and a bias ply tire with skinnies up front and it wanders a bit. The roads down here are flat and straight too. Dont get me wrong I love my 90/10s and 50/50s but my SS isnt a everyday car.

If you want a drag type set up go with the QA1s. Atleast there adjustable.

Talk to Eric at midwest chassis about coil overs/struts. you can get a better quality double adjustable strut with the coil overs for the same price as a single adjustable qa1 drag strut right now and have a better driving car on the street.
