I'm gonna let the car unused for a week... what's the best? Laying frame or standard height... or it don't matter at all?

No you can't use the stock upper mounts, because the way the struts are design. They're only designed to be install as given. If you don't use the washers and hardware the air bag won't seal. I have the same bags, but the 75559 no adj Hi Damp

Ok thanks

I'd say that TIG would be ideal, but MIG is totally sufficient as long as you're settings are right and you are getting good penetration on both metals. If this is your first time welding, have someone experienced do it.

I recently used pretty much your exact setup to bag a BMW Bavaria and we MIG welded everything and it turned out completely fine. The welds aren't as pretty as TIG welds would've looked, but they were plenty strong and have had no problems yet. Good luck!

ok thank you!

Is it possible to keep oem upper strut mount instead of using the ones in the kit? or the oem ones won't be enough tough?

Hi!

To weld the airlift strut would you best consider TIG or MIG welding?
