Just finished up the car with my new KYB's and S-Techs...I LOVE IT!!! The ride is so much stiffer and much more comfortable. My car would always make noises when going over speed bumps and coming in and out of dips. It also seemed really loose. Like when I went into a dip the suspension in the front would compress ALOT. Now that I have the new KYB's and the Teins, the ride is SO MUCH smoother.

I would like to thank everyone who replied to my previous post, the info that you guys gave me was great and without it I would have tore into this needing parts and not being able to finish. Again, thanks guys...

Here is my car Before the install...

I don't think that I would want to go any lower. Considering the cost that would have to go into it. I read alot of posts that stated the KYB's arent that great for going any lower than the 1.4" and I would also probably have to get a chamber kit and another alignment.

Probably because you have ground effects....

here i have this link all you have to do is look and read. GT = SEALED STRUTS

CLick

just look for sealed struts it should be on the right 2nd one down for the GT's and top right for the ST's

you also can us the left table to look for other suspension and intakes.

did you look for the one that says (sealed struts)
yes they are all four. my friend bought a set for his supra on this site. he's the one who showed me this sight.

i have yet to buy something but i will. since it has all the stuff there. suspension.........shocks.springs......exhaust.........clutch.........etc.

Are all of the struts sealed on a 99 GT?? I thought the rear were sealed and the front were rebuildable?

When changing out the strut mounts, is there a bearing i need to order seperately for the rear mounts?? I got a set of KYB mounts for the front and rear - they havn't come in yet, but from what i hear there is a bearing i need for the rear that's not included?
