Steeda S550 Mustang Billet Rear Shock Mounts difference between stock & KW tuned?

Hi there

Got KW Clubsports on my car which are currently using the stock rear upper shock mounts.

I like the idea of something stronger, shiny and spherical bearing in upper rear shock mounts.

But I do not know which to buy:
https://www.steeda.co.uk/steeda-s550-mustang-billet-rear-shock-mount-c2x21936490

- 555-8151 - 10mm Rear Shocks (OEM) -£219 inc vat - Including Ford Racing & Steeda Pro Action Non-Adjustable
- 555-8161 - 10mm Rear Shocks - KW Coilovers, Roush, Vogtland, Bilstein


They are both 10mm, so my question is what is the difference between these two versions, Steeda blurb on product description says tuned for KW and well I'd like to know what this means please?

What is different between the two versions?

Thread pitch on the bearing nut is the difference. I would call Steeda to confirm for sure.

What do you mean by that buddy?

My KW work fine with the stock upper shock mounts there was zero install issues.

Which leads me to assume my KW's should work with both the stock Steeda mount and KW tuned one I would think.

Hence me wondering the difference between the two if both fit fine, maybe the tunes for KW means something else?

Hi there

Installed the shock mounts

The instructions were not so clear about orientation to install so I just did them with Steeda logo on show, is that correct?

Yep, I thought it was pretty clear. Step 7: Then install the billet shock mount with the bearing facing, or the large opening facing down over the shock.

Have you taken a drive yet?

Yes driven it, ride feels better and more connected, its not night and day but it is noticeable for sure and for the price well worth it.

It is a mod every owner should do, stronger, better ride and car feels more connected if that make sense, there is no echo effect when riding crappy roads just one direct motion.

I think I am now as good as this car can get without turning it into a race car and increasing NVH to annoying levels and stripping loads of weight out the car.

Car weighs 1758kg with 3/4 tank fuel and myself in it and has a 49% weight distribution on corner weight scales.
