Top Strut Plate and other parts needed to install OME kit?

Question for you guys and gals. I just purchased a full OME kit (OMETAC04LKS) from the guys over at Low Range Offroad, great price and customer service. Anyway, I am planning to install the kit myself and was planning to replace the top strut plates so I can just swap out the coilovers once I piece them together.

Does anyone have any experience with these top strut plates?

I contacted my local Toyota parts and they are charging $90 each, and I can pick the above ones up from Napa at about $20 each...any thoughts?

Also would I need any other parts to complete the coilover swap?

Thanks again.

 

Anyone have any experience with aftermarket top strut plates?

 

I had to replace mine when I changed my crappy rusted out spacer lift with 5100's, 885's, and TC UCA's. I couldn't find a set of aftermarket top plates ANYWHERE. Not even a junk yard would give them up. I just bit the bullet and ordered through the dealership. You might have to do the same.

 

I ended up finding a set of aftermarket top strut plates from Napa for about $20.00 each. I took them to the dealer to compare the two and they are exactly the same, except Toyota charges $88.00 each.

 

Your Napa > every part store here then. I called Napa, ABC Auto, AutoZone, Parts Plus, and Checker Auto. Every place said it was a dealership only part except Parts Plus. They said they could order them but it would take a week or two to come in.

Good job on the cheap replacement.

 

I ordered them at 11:30am and had them the same day at 4:30pm. If you ever need to order one, ask them to order part #904900. I believe they were about $18.-- a piece...great deal and I just installed them earlier this evening with the OME 880's and Nitrocharger Sports.

 

Got an observation directly related to this old thread:

It seems that the

$27 Monroe 904900 Suspension Strut Mount

Monroe 904900 isn't only a strut plate but instead is a strut mount kit, meaning it's the plate + rubber isolator. (Just the plate by itself is #907927) Just ordered two of the 904900s; I like using new rubber isolators and top hats/top plates.

I'm also going with Nitrochargers but can't find info about the stem cushions / rubber washers or whatever they're called, so I'm hoping they come with them.

 

Mine did not come with new bushings or washers

 

Well shit, I thought it was just Bilstein that was too cheap to include them. I looked at the set Wheeler's sells but they specifically say they won't fit Nitrochargers, which leads me to believe the ones on my truck won't fit either, especially if the OME strut rods are larger diameter.

Remember where you got yours?

 

My Nitrochargers arrived today from Down South Motorsports (DSM). Everything's included in the box.
