Stiff, lowered suspensions do tend to wear out the strut bearings pretty
quick. Not really wear them out as much as make the bushings sag. My
policy is to leave them alone as long as the bearing isnt making any
noise. (clang, rattle ect.) Otherwise I could replace a set of strut
bearings every 5 months. Not gonna happen and using front poly bushings
isnt an option for me.

I was impressed with the "reinforced" front swaybar brackets. 2 welded
washers triangulating the brackets was pretty cool. Damn thing will
probably last a lifetime too. (Dont show Autotech!)  LOL!
