Has anyone here ever made their own solid strut mounts for an X? I've found myself questioning why not fabricate a thick piece of metal with studs added and a hole drilled for the strut shaft, and use as a replacement for the worn upper strut mounts. I know the ride would be harsher, though how much so I'm not sure. I assume it would be better in the corners though. I do know that replacement mounts are supposedly on the way as well from Mark Plaia and am kicking around this idea in the meantime.
The adjustable camber plates (LINKED HERE) look to be solid, so I don't see what the big deal would be to make the piece, but without the adjustment. My car is a weekend/autox toy only, so I think it would be livable. Would probably bump we into a different class for autox, but that's not really a worry.
I'd appreciate any feedback if anyone can speak from experience, and any possible risks to the vehicle by running such a setup.
As always, thanks!
