Strutting my stuff

Now that a lot of our cars are 6 to 11 years old its time to replace some of the old worn out suspension parts.

Do your struts and shocks look like this?




Collapsed shocks, worn out spring insulators, worn out struts and mounts.

tom has some L cabs iirc but if you contact Gloria@powellraceparts.com she can quote on the twisting beam bushings, we supply the tool as well. Up until now its been no charge for the tool but regrettably folks took too long to return it and broke it as well. You can only break it if you totally cant read instructions,

thanks for considering genuine Powell hardcore raceparts...

I am interested in this package - but what exactly are the black circular foam looking pads at the bottom of the picture/post? Do they go at the rear spring? I ask because when I go look at the FE5 spring/shock/strut package on the CED website - it helpfully shows some of the accessories - and I see the upper and lower pads - but not the simple foam pad in post. Just curious.
Thx
