All I need is struts!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.png And I don't know if I should get just OEM struts, or upgrade to something better? Do they even make something better? I don't know **** about suspension.



"Supposedly" my struts are shot on the front. You can literally lift the whole entire left wheel up with your hands with no resistance. They wanted to charge me 440 bucks for it and they were Gabriel struts?



HELP!! I just need to get her on the road, but I don't want a shotty product that I will have to take out later, if I want to do a spring and rotor setup.



I am clueless about suspension. Again I must say HELP!!!

yea of course they make upgraded struts,,,check out www.corksport.com they got good ish at good prices

check ebay. there are usually nice tokico sets at good prices(new)

rowtareh 04-12-2004 07:38 PM

Can't do ebay. I have 8 days to put the struts in and go back to the inspection station. Luckily I have somebody helping me out in this ordeal.



I know to get Tokico, but which ones. Illumina? Or would Koni be reasonable? I was told to get Tokico, and I trust the guy's opinions and judgements. I have about 500 bones to spend, and all I need is front struts. Thank god not all the way around. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif



Thanks alot fellas, truely appreciated. Now if this shitty weather would just get out of maryland, that'd be great.

My car is completely bone stock. Spring are stock, struts, rotors, pads, EVERYTHING!



I just want a strut that would be decent, and like I said in first post, I want something that will help me out in the long run, not just get me through my inspection.



Thanks again fellas.

tokico illumina, nice ride, adjustable. get them now, then you can save up, get the rears and some springs too. if you get gabriel crap you are just buying time and throwing money away

Now that is a good idea. I could just do it all in one punch, and then get springs/coilovers later on down the road. I need suspension mods before I get any go faster goodies.



Thanks guys. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

KYB AGX and Eibach springs work well, especially for the price. That is what I have on my fc.
