Ok..I have 2 questions:
1. I have stock suspension and Ive just bough some Eibah Sportlines springs. I want to buy KYB GR2 struts but...when Ive bough the car (last summer), the ex owner replaced the rear shocks with new OEM like 1 week before I bough the car. My question is: what should I do? buy the GR2 (front/rear)? or buy them only for the front ? or keep the stock on? 2. is it complex to install the sportlines spring/kyb gr2 struts? like can I just bring the car to an normal mechanic or should I bring it to a speed parts shop? Do I need to do some cutting or other stuff like that for the installation? |

its all drop in, you could run up to autozone and do one of their free rentals for a spring compressor and do it yourself with a jack, jackstand and a ratchet set.
the GR2s are just OEM replacement parts, not a big performance difference, so id say just stick with what you got untill they start going bad. --------------------  Believer, you'll leave her, in leaving them all No but I don't buy it Like anything you do, as anyone you are Cause I'm...

if it was me i would just get both front and back...may not be needed... but if you can why not... you'll have new struts all the way around...
and installtion is very easy.... all you need its a socket set, combo wrench set, Jack/stands, hammer, and spring compressior.... don't rent it just buy it for 15 bucks.... you will need it again when you change your springs and or srturts again.. -------------------- |
