I have koni oranges (str.t's) and the GT500 strut mounts DO NOT fit .... You cannot attach the top nut as the bolt is flush with the top of the strut mount..

I had the exact same setup but then switched to cc plates because of alignment issues. The gt500 mounts worked for me on the 2005-2010 str.t's. I believe the long stud on the 2011+ struts are shorter than the 2005-2010 version and will not work with the gt500 mounts. Is that what you were using?

2005-2010 struts with gt500 mounts should work on all s197 cars I believe.

JDM is right. The GT500 mounts with 05-10 Struts will work on the 2011+ cars. If you use 2011+ Stuts then its either caster camber plates or stock strut mounts.

Also, I've read that turning the strut mounts (gt500) 180 degrees allows for proper, safe alignment without the need for camber bolts. Just FYI

correct. I did this on mine and didn't really need to install the camber bolts, but did so anyways.

I'm really glad i saw this… I have a 2014 so i would need this http://www.bmrsuspension.com/?page=p...118&superpro=0
for 05-10 if i wanted to use gt500 strut mounts? Also would these sway bars work?
