My shocks and struts are "gone" and I'm looking to buy new or like new ones. I have a '94 Celi and I live in 31763 (Leesburg,Ga)
I don't know how much they cost for all of them but I need some new ones.

Also, while me and my dad were changing my radiator, he accidentally yanked the wire out of the o2 sensor. Then when he was going to try to fix it, he messed up the plug. Any advice on what I need to get?

And, how much are a set of new or like new 17 inch tires?

It will take him a moment to realize that he's about to make a 180 degree turn at speed, but you will be ready for it. Brace for the g's, and fast heel-toe work.

These are replacements for the whole car? I mean all shocks and struts on it?

Unless your car has more than 4 corners.... Yes this is all you need.

Just solder it in if the plug can't be salvaged. Also 17" wheels on the ST is just a no no, unless they're lightweights like RPF1's anyhow. 110 hp and heavy wheels don't get along nicely, especially if it's an automatic.

How would i solder the wire into place? I have minimal experience with this.
As far as the 17" tires go, when my dad got the car, it had 17"s on it with smoky black rims. We never messed with the tires except to put other tires on. Im looking to buy new tires that fit the rims I have to cut back on cost, but if I need to, I can change the tire size. What's a good size for my Automatic?

You'll need a soldering iron, leaded solder, and a wire stripper.

If you already bought new tires for the car I wouldn't worry about it then. 14's are the smallest you can fit on the car and is what I have on my 5-speed ST. For an auto ST I'd say no bigger than 15's, maybe 16's if they were light enough. If you are buying new tires, you could sell your 17's to cover the cost of another set of rims. The lighter the wheels are the quicker it'll be, and the better mpg you'll get. Though if you're just going for looks that's up to you.

I have been buying used tires until I can get new ones. I can look into 16's if its not a huge cost. I'm looking for as much MPG as I can squeeze out so it looks like I may be getting smaller tires down the line.
There's so much that I want done to this car, but I just don't have the money to do!!!
How would I go about soldering the wire? I can get the equipment.

If you want the best mpg go with 14" alloys. I have the factory 14" alloys on mine and get mid 30's with the 5-speed.

Best thing to do is to Google, "how to solder" or what have you. I don't have the energy do write it out when there's plenty of info online already.
