Quite a few out there. K-huevo of WerkinMini; Way of WMW are among those who could give you proper guidance.

Good advice
Check http://www.waymotorworks.com/ireland...e-r50-r53.html

I just talked to Wayland this last week and for a daily drive he recommended these.
About the same price as OEM replacements.

I boughr Moog strut mounts for my coilovers from rockauto. They were way cheaper than stock, and look to be built pretty solid. Moog suspension parts have always been pretty good from what i've seen.

Also, the jcw strut bar has special nuts which you have to get from the dealer if they did not come with your bar.
