Re: Two questions

^^^^^What he said. Stretch belts are ghetto! I found an easy way to change the top mounts too. Remove interior, loosen strut bolt, jack car off the ground, loosen strut mount blots (note bolt placement). Replace with new mounts, align strut with mount, lower car, tighten strut bolt, install interior, done. I had to make a tool with a deep well socket welded to a wrench so you can get an allen key through it to tighten the strut bolt. It really helps if you have a max access socket set or obviously an impact gun. Some may think this method is unsafe so do it at your own risk. It took me a little over an hour an if you're careful isn't all that unsafe.
