i have noticed that my car seems to be sitting lower in the front lately and i can hear a loud creaking sound evey time i hit a bump or just push down on the front left side of the car. does this sound like my shocks are dead?
ive been looking at what shocks are out there and the two choices seem to be KYB or Koni. if i get the koni, can i just replace the front two, or is it the type of thing where your really should do all 4 at the same time? im guessing that if i go with kyb, i can just replace the front two because they are oem replacements? -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

i gave my vin to toyota and the verified that i do have the sports suspention
 so, do i really have to go out and find a pair of new or used struts, or would a good shop be able to cut my existing ones and make this work? i asked tirerack about this before placing my order, and the sales guy said that it was totally normal to have to cut the shock when doing inserts.... so im getting mixed opinions on this. i ended up going with kyb after all because of the extra cost and the fact that i would want koni all around, not just the front. i got to say that Tirerack is an amazing place to order from. i placed my order around 3pm and got the shocks within 24hrs at my door, regular ground shipping! -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
