I bought a set of used JIC coilovers for my DC5, and i need to replace one of the pillowmounts because it's warped....


however, JIC quoted me $250 for just one mount, and Tein said theyre mounts wont fit the JIC's.

(Teins go for $200 for both mounts)


does anyone know of an alternative? do the Ksport mounts fit ?

 

JIC stopped making those coilovers for the DC5 because they had serious issues with them. I did not think they started making them again. Are these several years old? If so, not sure I'd put any money into them at all.

How does a thick aluminum pillowmount become warped anyhow?

 

the original owner was in an accident, im not sure exactly how old they are either....

i just need a pillowmount that will fit

Honestly...I hope you did not pay too much. And if the pillowball upper mount is bent, what's the piston rod like? I hope everything was tested out.

As for a new pillowmount, most of those use proprietary mounts. Probably going to have to buy them from JIC.

 

i didnt pay much at all, and yes they were tested already

whats a proprietary mount?
