I just, a few days ago had the KYB GR2 struts put on the rear with the Eiback ProKit springs, not the Sportlines. Since my 99 already had the upgraded sports suspension, the front do not have replaceable cartridges. So what TireRack.com sells or should I say what KYB recommends does not fit and won't work - and to top it off they don't make anything that does work. Any Toyota dealer can sell you new front struts, but they will cost about $160 each. Right now my car feels very tight except I have that "clunking" in the front. Since the stock struts are higher the the Springs, I'm assuming I'll need a spacer/damper to hold them in place - right now they are spinning when I turn the wheel. Feels great though except for the nasty noise.
Any suggestions - I have TireRack, the installer and Eibach tech folks all talking to come up w/ a solution. Help me if you can! |
