alright, i was going to install my coilovers but they wouldn't fit and they said i need struts. So i'm thinking about buying struts for about half a year and decided to buy KYB GR-2 non-adjustable (How low can these be able to hanndle?). Now these only come with the struts but is there anything else i should get along with the struts? Like do i need the boot and all? Thanks guys! (and girls).

GR2s are OEM upgrades, and they're lifetime depends on your driving and what not. However if your coilovers dont fit its probably due to the fact that they (struts) need to be grinded down. Check out the How To Install Coilovers for more details.

Oh and you may wanna get a mount just while ur doing all this.

help support the strut and if yours are worn (or close to it) then you'll start to hear popping and stuff - just easier to change them out befor theres a problem.

i see. you said earlier that i might need to grind, but that happened when i tried to put it on with stock struts. So willl it change if i get the GR2 put in? the how-to only was talking about the installation of the coilovers so i was confused.

No with coilovers you will most likely have to grind down the strut housing - read the How To (why its there) and you'll see its not tough shouldnt take too long.

You can find struts for cheaper. Try tire rack (tirerack.com,) the fronts are 40 and the rears are 47, and they are a great company to deal with.

THose are the inserts, you can get the full struts (rears) for $87 a pair and you dont have to take anything apart.
