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...   And here it is after...

I checked the front suspension and they are in fact cartridges and not the sealed type. Here's my dilemma - as of right now i have both cartridges AND sealed struts/suspension for the front. Could i still swap out the front rebuildable struts with the new sealed set i have? reason i ask is i really need new struts on the front anyway, along with new shocks... I know it's a bit of a step down in versatility for future upgrades, but i doubt i will be doing anything else to the suspension anyway. Is it physically do-able? i mean would the sealed struts fit the same as the rebuildable set would? The front struts are a bit sorter in length than the rear - this is normal, right? thanks!
