I need all new struts and strut mounts.

The cost for all new stuff nears that of coilovers...

What in this situation would seem the best option with cost/performance taken into account?

The megan coilovers look appealing... but I could likely hit the junkyard to get the strut mounts, and from there new bilstiens are ~300. I have stock springs I purchased from a member here before I realized I'd need new strut mounts.

After much debate it seems going the junkyard route is the most appealing, keeping end costs readily under $500... but any other ideas?

i ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS use a torque wrench! especially on anything that is compressing stressing moving etc... last thing you need is to have your wheel fly off wink.gif


what is recommended torque in pounds for putting your 5 lug nuts on your wheels.

Just finally got my torque wrench 3 days ago. I had alignment installed by pros so im good. only thing that probably was torqued down right was my struts. but ive been riding like that for like 6 months now.
