Strut mount question...

I'm running the poly filled mounts with my koni kit. I cant really comment on the difference since i installed them at the same time as my kit, but from what i can tell they definitely add a level of rigidity that this car truly wants, and allows the beautiful konis to soak up more. That, and you wont have to worry about replacing them again. That was the selling point for me.

I have a blown strut mount.

I am debating on getting the stock Saab strut mounts or the GS poly filled ones. I currently have a Koni kit as well as a host of other suspension upgrades. Anyone tried these yet? How much more harsh are they compared the stockers? Any daily performance benefits noticed?

I have them...for more than 1 year, with Koni adjustable and works like magic

i dont have genuines, as they were not out the last time i changed my mounts, but i have replaced my fair share of stockers on my 9-3 over the years. next time around i will hands down get genuines.

I just bought the hardened poly units. I will update this when I have them installed to give my impressions.

Update:

Poly strut mounts installed. LOVE THEM!

There is a slight increase in harshness over small bumps. Something akin to BMW sport suspension level of harshness. With the Koni kit this setup toes the line between harsh and good road feel very well. Highly recommend. Very comfortable in everyday use and provides a bit more sport feel.
