hi everyone.

I bought my st205 directly from japan 2years ago
when i got the car i had to replace the front shocks with KYB's cause the original ones where far gone.
the car had always been a little lower on the right side then on the left so i thought that the spring might also be worn out.
So a month or 2 ago i installed some tein lowering springs and now the front suspension is knocking so hard, its a shame to drive the car around town kindasad.gif and it still angs lower on the drivers side.
has anyone else had this problem with their 205?
my car has done 127k kms so i think the superstrut might be needing a replacement...

is it best to replace all of the lower arms and fig 8's or will i be ok if i just put new joints and bushes in?

thank you,
Bram

Not tried the arms from GT4 Racing. I am not keen on refurbished parts or those solid bushes.

Do you have pictures of the suspension without the wheels on?

ok,
no but i can take a few tomorrow if u want.
does the rear suspension often fail? i didn't really think of this at first but the rear suspension might also be the cause for sagging on the right
