    The best:

    Fully adjustable top mounts. And, you can change the strut inserts from inside the bonnet, with the uber long 1/2" sq drive socket.

    Anyone know of a better bit of design?

    The worst:

    To adjust the hand brake you need to go through a slot just big enough to take a 10mm 1/2" drive socket. The threaded rod on the adjuster is so long a standard long series 3/8" 10mm socket is too short. No long Britool 1/2" drive 10mm sockets exist. The bore down a 10mm HD Tubular Spanner is too small.

    I drilled a 6.5mm hole down a 100mm 1/2 " extension and taped on the socket. I recon, to change the handbrake cable it's exhaust and heat shield off.
