Aiight:
The Eibachs were a no-go; I am bereft of an impact wrench. What I have come up with is this - I want to buy a set of struts, and the plate at the top (Strut Mount? has the three bolts that attach the strut/spring assembly to the car at the top) and get the four assemblies ready to go on the car. I have found a shop that will complete the install from there (i.e. do the swap for me), then I can get it aligned. That way I will just have an all-new suspension hehheh.
My questions are these:
1. I am most interested in the KYB GR2 struts. They seem to have the highest bang-to-buck ratio. I need to know what the ride quality is like with them, compared to the stock setup. Anybody running Pro-Kits and GR2s, or whatver with GR2s? I cannot afford the AGXs or I'd get those.
2. Any other recommendations for struts? I would like a ride quality pretty close to stock; maybe just a little firmer. Keep in mind that I really can't go above about $50 per strut.
3. Are there any parts I am missing to get these assemblies ready? I have the springs, I need:
1. Struts
2. Strut mount (top plate)
3. Strut boots
Anything else? Anything else at all you can think of?
Anybody have those top plates in good shape to sell me cheap? Or know where I could get them cheap (Autozone/Pep Boys etc.)? KYB makes replacements but it would be $100 for the four of them.
TIA
