KYB's dont fit car Options

[nitemare]

Mechanic just called me stating front struts dont fit. I already called KYB (even though I pouchased from Ebay) and they said I got correct part#s. My mechanic only took apart the fronts and said the bolt on the wheellock or something is totally a different shape then the strut. He said my front struts are sealed. My rears are rebuildables.

So, from ebay:
(2) 365092 front shocks, (2) 334125-334126 Rear STRUTS) KYB GR-2 shocks to fit 1994 to 1999 Toyota Celica all models excluding all trac 4WD. T

KYB confirmed these are correct part#s.

My mechanic said since my car is a convertible, sometimes they use different parts. Ad said fits all celicas 94-99 except Altrek.

Mine is a 95 Celica GT Convertible. I also bought Tein Springs already from ebay?

I dont think I can return them. What to do? Install springs without struts? Or just try to sell both of them back on ebay.

Any advice would be great.

the rears are no problem, just the fronts are your problem.

You are replacing the rear strut housings & rear strut inserts and only the front inserts with the KYBs. So the KYBs will replace the rears completly and the fronts, well, you need non-sealed housings. I really wouldn't be concerned with what the housings look like, just as long as they are normal. I think jcbass7 (Jesse - good guy) is parting out an ST which only came with the normal suspension, so you'll be good to go with his housings.
