Just had the Cobra Valley R/T rear suspension brackets mounted to my car this morning.

The original mounts weren't too bad after all. Both were canted upwards from 90 degrees and the situation was worse on the driver's side, but it was a long way from failure. The bolts weren't too badly bent either, but you sure can see where the problem originates. The OE mounts basically place all the stress on the threaded part of the bolts, which are thinner and weaker, and the R/T mounts are clearly well engineered and very strong.

I should be good for years now.
