sup fellas....need some help here...had my 97 ST for 7 years now....my suspension has been through alot of changes...first i had dropzone coilovers with KYB GR2 shocks...the cheap coilovers killed my shocks...then i decided to go with Koni shocks with Ground Control coilovers which most people thought was a very good setup...Tein are just too crazy expensive...now my shocks are dead again...i believe i lowered the car too low and being in a place with lots of potholes and bumps didn't help...i just wanna go back to stock set up...where can i buy a new OEM strut asssembly without messing with the springs and shocks...

any suggestions would be appreciated

KYB GR-2's = OEM replacement.

If you need OEM springs I have a set.

i too have a oem suspension set at my house. BUT one of the front struts is bent.

btw how much did all your suspension cost you in the first place from beginning to end? probably near the cost of a tein setup.
