strut/shock mounts going bad?

So i had kw coilovers, the front struts blew, i got them replaced and sold the set. I got the eibach pro system (dampers and pro kit springs) and they have been great for the last 6 or 7 months, but now the ride has all of a sudden in the past 2 weeks become bone jarringly harsh. It was stiff, but still compliant but something has changed. I thought maybe the struts blew again, but using the bouncy test, the struts do not seem blown at all. I was wondering if maybe it was the strut/shock mounts? I ordered a set of new front strut/shock mounts and am planning on having them installed to see if the problem goes away or if it is the strut assembly itself that is blown. If it does turn out to be the struts, i have a set of fresh stock sport struts and my stock springs i am thinking about putting back on with sp lowering perches.

Has anyone else had issues with the stock strut mounts?
