Do you use the same ones even in a car with Konis and Eibachs?

Any help would be great.

thx

Fern, for me a starter is nothing now. I'm not sure how easy it tis to get it out from the top with the trans in but it should be a DIY job.

Now about the car sitting lower in one corner my guess would be a toasted upper strut mount. Take a pic of both mounts and email it to me and I should be able to tell.
